Key to My Joy



I've been playing with some new stamps from Unity, and trying out some spatter techniques with some spray inks.  It's a little challenging, because you never know how the spatters are going to turn out, but I love using the spray inks.  For this card, I did all the stamping first, and then sprayed lightly over it.  I was using the color palette here from Lily Pad's Kathy's Challenge.  Since there was not alot of images to color in, I thought the spray inks would add just the right touch of orange.  I highlighted the key with some glossy accents.

The colors make a bright and cheery card.  I kept it simple for the Less is More Week 67 Challenge of making a 1 layer card using 3 stamps.  I am also going to enter in Simon Says Stamp Clean and Simple and Unity Friends with Flair, and The Moxie Fab World Spatter Technique Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!
