waves of bling

today i decided to make a card for the wee memories challenge 18 (WMC18): buttons, brads and bling! what a fun challenge!


i have been wanting to do the 'waves' technique for some time, but never had an opportunity. so i decided to make this challenge the time!






obivously (or maybe not...?), it's a sunset on an ocean. on the sun's rays, i alternated between glitter and the liquid glass applique to create an shimmery effect, what's brighter than the sun, after all?




i also added some bling in the valleys of the waves, and also added some distress to the crests of the waves with a white stamp pad to add to the depth of the waves.










i am really loving the color combinations of orange/yellow with blue/teals. i love that they're such opposites, but still they go well together. needless to say, i really enjoyed making this card - it was a blast!


enjoy!
