Fab Friday 24 Challenge, with a little Fab Friday 23 too!

Hello Friends!  Happy Friday!

I stayed up late to work on this Fabulous Friday Challenge!  Since I missed the last one, I decided to use this week's color combination, which is lovely, and combine it with the last week's layout!

Here is this week's color combination:

And last week's layout:

Here is my creation! I am giving you an upright view, plus a slightly closer view so you can see all the details!




Lots of "Fussy Cutting" Aka: cutting around all the stamped images.  The Flourish was particularly interesting to cut, but one manages. ;-)

The Flower was stamped onto Watercolor paper in Crisp Cantaloupe, then watercolored with a blender pen using So Saffron and Crisp Cantaloupe inks to the center and edges of the flowers.  This paper watercolors so beautifully!

Smooch Spritz adds that little extra bling along with the glimmer paper near the bottom.  Even if you spritz a little too much, as I did, it still looks fabulous!

Stamps: Everything Eleanor

Paper: Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper, Crisp Cantaloup, Very Vanilla, Pistachio Pudding, Champagne Glimmer, Watercolor Paper

Ink: Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe, So Saffron

Accessories: Blender Pen (for watercoloring), Dimensionals, Large Scallop Edgelit, Gold Smooch Spritz, Pistachio Pudding Stretch Ruffle Trim.
