You are a Gem!

 

This evening I was inspired to try the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches with the color challenge at Just Us Girls : 3 shades of blue. 

First, I stamped five gems and a center using Altenew's Mini Delight Precious Florette layering set with Iceberg, Eastern Sky and Ultramarine inks. It's a tiny image with 6 layers!  Put my eyes to the test! I did the outline layer last hoping it would cover any little gaps (it helped), and I cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Then, I taped off lines on a #110 card base and inked blended with the  same three Altenew inks.  I then blended the 'leaves' using the same colors with Simon Says Stamp Holiday Foliage stencil, and stamped the sentiment. The gem 'flower' was popped on with foam tape and I embellished the gems with Glossy Accents.
