March Birthstone.....

   
     I own a few aquamarine stones and each is a different shade.  So, I took this opportunity to blend quite a few colors for this challenge.

     The Challenge I would like to enter my card into is at Little Red Wagon, #383, Aquamarine.

      I started with a base of Turquoise Sea from Gina K. Designs.  Next came a layer of white, followed by a piece of Glossy card stock.  To the glossy, I applied SU! reinkers on baby wipe.  I used many shades.  Next I used a  random flourish in Island Indigo.  My sentiment was stamped in Island Indigo and is from Unity Stamps.  It was cut out using MFT stitched ovals, popped to the card front and gems were added for sparkle.

     I hope you are enjoying you're weekend, and finding a wee bit of ti
me to get your craft on.

     My card was featured for Challenge 383.  Thanks!
