Milk Coffee Digi stamp challenge

The theme this week for Through the Purple Haze challenge is to create your own background, with our sponsor being Milk Coffee Digi stamps. I took my inspiration for this card from Julia Watts, I was lucky enough to win one of her cards from Create and Craft this week, so got really excited to try some of her techniques.

I first off all coloured the beautiful image with Promarkers, which then led me to set upon the colour scheme for the card. I went with the aqua colour of the pillow. For the background, I used the Ink Duster to lay on a light layer of colour through a stencil, then put it through the GC in an embossing folder to get the clock embossing. I finished this part by smudging some of the ink around the edge of the background. I then layered this onto a piece of complimenting coloured card, put that on white, leaving a slightly wider gap for the PVA glue pearls, mounted again on the aqua coloured and finally put this on an 8x8 white card, with the ink dusted around the edge of this as well. 
Once I'd glued the image into the corner, I made the rose with a strip of ribbon rolled around and held in place with super sticky tape, added a few leaves made from the aqua card and created the sentiment using the Clarity Stamps Letterbox stamps.
Really pleased with how it has come out, hope you like it.
I've also made my first video tutorial of how to make the rose, it's posted on YouTube, just follow the link.
