I've used a piece of salted background and used this beautiful, Big Bold stamp
that I won during Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge in July.
Using my MISTI, I stamped parts of the pine boughs and pine cone with White Pigment ink
placing it off the side. Then I heat embossed the images.
I used Zigs and my waterbrush to add color to the pine cone and winked the boughs
and cones to add some shimmer. The camera chooses to ignore the sparkle.
Challenges:
CAS Mix Up - Watercolour Off the Edge

Your misty background couldn't be more perfect for the stamps you used... Absolutely beautiful Bonnie!
It's a lovely card, Bonnie! Your salted background is fabulous - reminds me of the photos I love the most, where the subject is in focus, and the background is beautifully blurred! I have no problem imagining the sparkle!
