Time for this weeks sneak peek of the new challenge at Rosies Dees and the reveal of last weeks card when the theme was "Sea", a place where we usually love to visit this time of year but the weather this summer probably means if you are like me, visits have been limited, unless of course you are fortunate enough to love close to the coast, which we do not. I have used a lovely Stamps Happen image 80268 called "Linger by the Sea", it's quite an old one but I believe still available. I always find it a useful stamp for some of more 'difficult' cards - men of course !
I Glimmer Misted the background using midnight and a splash of rose tea for the sky, seafoam for the sea and sunflower and gold for the sand. The great thing about GM's is if you have a stamp in mind you can prepare and spray your card to fit with your image as I did here. I stamped very simply with versafine black and embossed with detail clear and did no colouring in at all as I felt the GM's gave it sufficient 
depth. The only addition was some dashes of Inkssentals white opaque pen to the waves. The DP is from my stash, the borders punched with Fiskars threading water, the letters cut on Cricut jasmine and finally the sail boat and lighthouse diamond glazed to lift them.

fab card and a lovely idea for using glimmer mist at moment only have one colour and I have used to spray flowers on a card but I can see I am going to need more. Your information on glimmer mists was great and I learned a lot from it.
Fab lighthouse they do make great sea theme cards and yours as usual is very striking and inspiring.
popped over to Rosie Dees and caught sight of a pic of you, cross country? someone pulling a bit? :)
LOL noticed you chose one with you looking over your shoulder - away from the camara!
Wow Brenda thats so effective, such a clever idea. Fantastic card by the way. Well done with love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxx
Love what you do with those Glimmer Mists. I haven't gone there, yet, but you are inspiring me to have a go.
Hugs,

I really like your card. Where do you get the Stamp Happens stamps? I have never used glimmer mist, I guess I'll have to do a search on what they are and how to use them. I think the card is so beautiful.
