<p>I was inspired by the <a href="http://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2017/03/march-challenge.html"><strong>STAMPlorations March sketch and theme</strong></a> when I created this card using <strong><a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Smile-Dees-Artsy-Impressions-P5601061.aspx" target="_blank">Smile stamp set</a>, <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Kathryns-Big-Wishes-Dees-Artsy-Impressions-P5623570.aspx" target="_blank">Kathryn&#8217;s Birthday stamp set</a>, <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Mixed-Media-Grunge-April-2015-P5229585.aspx" target="_blank">Mixed Media Grunge stamp set</a>, <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Zen-Hearts-ARTplorations-Stencil-P5674969.aspx" target="_blank">Zen Hearts Stensil</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The background I created with Ken Oliver &#8211; Color Bursts Caribbean powder and mixture of Perfect Pearl powder and water spray. And I used the ghosting technique with the stencil on it, too. Then I stamped the bubble wrap and dots pattern on the watercolored panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink.</p>
<p><a title="STAMPlorations March Theme &amp; Sketch Challenge" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/33081512210/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c1.staticflickr.com/4/3762/33081512210_d15a36e853_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="STAMPlorations March Theme &amp; Sketch Challenge" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>Then I stamped the leaves branches on the other color burst background paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then fussy cut them out. I added some sparkle glitter on them using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen. I added them on the card with some do adhesive.</p>
<p>I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut out the pennant tail. I did the same thing with the black cardstock and slightly overlap them to give a shadow under the white one.</p>
<p>I finished the card with some of the flower wood veneers.</p>
