Slice of happiness

I love the colors of my card. So summery! Even though I colored slices of citrus, the background reminds me of sherbet. Hmmmm. Now I have a craving.

This was my first time trying the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. They didn't work too well on the Ranger water color paper as is, which surprised me. They almost seemed like they were nearly out of ink already. But once I added water, it was much better. I tried them on regular 80 lb cardstock, and they blended just fine without water. So, my verdict is that at this point I prefer Distress Inks for water coloring. 

This was also the first time I used the iridescent sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I love them! I'm so excited that Paulina is going to release new colors next month.

I am entering my card into two challenges:

Treat yourself!

I am so happy for my friend, Christie. She was offered a new job! No more copious amounts of overtime. I am also looking for a different job (possibly a career change), and her success is so encouraging. :o)

What better way to say congratulations than with popsicles? They are such a happy treat!

Before I put glossy accents on the popsicles, I added glitter with my Wink of Stella clear brush marker. I wish the pictures showed the sparkle!

The colors are so bright and cheery! I almost didn't want to give this one away.

I am entering my card into three challenges, two of them for the first time!
