Rosie Posie and a Gradient Look



It took me a few tries to achieve this gradient look with two powders (pink and lime).


The only downside was, I couldn't pour the extra powder back in the containers...I didn't want to contaminate the pure colors.


I designated a "mixed" container for times like these...it will be interesting to see what color combo results after a few months.


These two stems are from Papertrey's Rosie Posie~they are easy to line up and fun to work with.










I brought out my beads and sequins and scattered them about with Glossy Accents glue.

After getting my image the way I wanted it, I took the plunge and embossed the sentiment in yellow over it.

I must admit~I was a bit nervous about overheating it.

I love the outcome though!

This is a great way to use up that gorgeous embossing powder.


Thanks for stopping by~have a blessed day now~

    Your gradient look looks just fabulous, Marlena! I hear you on the "contaminating" your embossing powder thing, though. Sweet card!

    You took this to a new level Marlena! Love the way this turned out. New way to use an older stamp, well its still new to me because I bought it so late.

    Ooooo! LOVE the look of layers here without all the bulk, Marlena! And the black is so warm with those shades of red and orange! Scrumptious!
