One to the next homework challenge. This time it was the Let It Shine.  Adding sparkly and elements that shine are one of my favorite things when creating a card.  So this homework I was ready for.  I selected one of my favorite Aletnew stamps which is a large, beautiful poppy from the Forever and Always stamp set.  I used the image using Versamark ink, my MISTI tool to stamp the flower on heavy weight white card stock.  I embossed the flower with detail gold  embossing powder.  I tried another gold powder but did not like the way it looked so I tried again.  I painted the petals using Zig fine tipped markers, using a water barrel brush.  I blended and added shading. When that was dry I reached for an old standby- Twinkling H2O paints to add the shimmer and shine to the petals.  The hello die is one of my favorites and use it all the time.  I die cut the top one from a gold paper, and then die cut two more from white card stock to layered the hello.  I die cut the paper using a stitch edge die,  I used some Altenew pink ink to spatter the background.  I glued the hello to the bottom right corner and added glitter gold Nuvo dots for accent.  I have used this set alot and I had the matching dies.  Simple and elegant.
