This month's challenge colours are a monochrome mix of turquoises, and I found a piece of watercolour paper that had a pale turquoise wrinkle free distress background on it. I stamped the Floral Weave cling mounted stamp onto the background using a lovely teal shimmery embossing powder. I have had this embossing powder for years and years, but it still works so well, and I love the colour. I stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Words stamp set onto another strip of the background, using Memento Nautical Blue Ink. I edged the pieces of background using a Distress crayon, smudging the crayon with my finger. I stuck all of the strips of card onto a piece of deep teal card, and added some flat-backed pearls to finish.

I love the way your wrinkle free elements are reversed with the main panel having a light one & the sentiment a dark. The placing of the elements with the dark border for the sentiment against the lighter is gorgeous, such an effective layout & I particularly like the accenting with your different sized gems in the top right - a really interesting way of embellishing. I thoroughly enjoy your CAS creations - there's always something educational in the design layout or the colours.
