SSCB#28 Sheet Music or Newsprint - Thistle Birthday

Are you playing along with the Serendipity Stamps Challenge?  This month the challenge is to create a project with your favorite Serendipity Stamps image or die and to include some sheet music or newsprint on your design.    Just link up your design here and you could win $20 off your next order!  Everyone is a winner though because the sale this time is buy 3 items get your 4th item free.   The sale runs through 2-26.  

The design team made all their cards featuring a color blending techinque.  I used Ranger distress inks to create the warm red, orange, yellow background for my butterfly and thistle.   First I stamped the image in Versamark Ink, and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I applied the distress inks one at a time, starting with the lightest in the center, and the darker on the outer edges. 

To add a little sparkle I used a Sakura Quickie Glue pen, drew some dots, allowed the glue to dry and then applied gold perfect pearls.
