I started this last night as part of a holiday weekend challenge between friends and just couldn't seem to get it to come together. So I went to bed, hoping for a bit more inspiration this morning. I finally thought to add some dp and the page pebbles, which then made it work for the inspiration challenge. I really liked how it turned out.
This is a set I bought some time ago and haven't used. The large flower was stamped using rock & roll technique. The center part of the flower is cut out, sponged, popped up & ce & dd glitter added. I stamped the sentiment on rust and guava, cut out 'fabulous' on the guava, coated it with ce & dd glitter and mounted it over the rust using 3 extra layers of card stock for just a bit of dimension. I also stamped part of the sentiment on vanilla, guava & dp, punched with 1" circle punch and added page pebbles. The rhinestone brad was clear and I colored over it with a Copic marker.

Love all the details of this. The page pebbles are awesome, and I love the idea of using your copic to color the rhinestone!! I'll have to try that! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
