In this card, I'm playing along with the Mix-Ability Challenge that asks us to soften the edges of the mat layer, frame, or focal area with some type of transition.
I simply used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pen to add multiple lines along the edge of a background I did for the MIX468 challenge. The sentiment is a new die that I colored with gel sticks and smoothed with water then added a clear sparkle brush pen layer. Ohhh, that gorgeous rose is stamped with distress oxide ink before the brush pens were done.
