A Sakura clear star glitter pen was used to color the flowers and stems on this card. Of course, it doesn't show up very well in the photo. But, it is very pretty in person and I think it compares favorably to the wink of Stella. The only big difference that I can see is that the wink of Stella has a brush tip.
For the background I used more distress inks smooshed onto my craft sheet and spritzed with water. (Can't seem to stop making these backgrounds)! The sentiment is from Hero Arts and the glitter epoxy dots are from Kathy Davis Designs and they are so pretty IRL. I got a bit carried away with the splatters, but still like this card a lot.
Sending this off to a friend today.

I am SURE it is much more beautiful in person, Joy! The glitter really adds that something something..., isn't it? I love the choice of colors and die cut! The sentiment you used is perfect, too! I know what you mean about making those watery Distress Inks BG...so addictive!! Hope you have a great weekend! xo
Joy this card is so beautiful. I love your background and all the white. The dotted accents and color drops are perfect.
Oh Joy!! Love every little thing about this card!!!! I don't think you went overboard with the splatters at all!! And thanks for your thoughts on the Gelly roll vs Wink:)
This is beautiful, Joy! Love the glitter flowers and the distress ink background :)
Very pretty card Joy and I bet it looks even better in real life.
this is such a pretty and painterly card Joy and I love that sentiment!
If my backgrounds came out like that I wouldn't stop making them either! This is absolutely beautiful, Joy--one of my favorites! Love the Clear Star pen, too, but I like the Wink for bigger areas like a leaf.
A very pretty card Joy. Great colour combination on your background.
This is a fabulous card....what a wonderful way to use an open die! Thank you for the inspiration. (Here by way of Kathy Schweinfurth's "Weekly Picks")
