Freshly Made Sketches #758

 
Hi friends! After dodging two hurricanes at home and a couple of typhoons in Japan,
I've finally recuperated and it feels good to craft again.
 
Our leader Jen T brings us Sketch #758 for this week's Freshly Made Sketches.
 
 
That's a ton of white space for you to fill in as you wish, and she asks for a 
one layer wonder with a second layer just for the sentiment. 
 

 I used Altenew's Magnolia Dreams 3D embossing folder and colored the panel in
pink fading into orange. Two colors looked a little flat, so I added a bit of lilac
at the top. I went over the surface with a white pigment pad and then a sanding block.
 
 
  
 Before adding the sentiment, I spattered a bit of white paint, then finished off with 
a few iridescent sequins. 
 
How will you fill out your panel? Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see how the rest
of the design team worked Jen's sketch and come and join us if you can. The deadline
to link up your card is Monday, Oct 19th at 3PM EST.
