This isn't actually as dark as it looks. I was looking for a quick card, so I grabbed the pinwheel from Artistic Outpost's Playtime set, and made it my main image. I stamped it in TH Dusty Concord, which is a purple I love! While it was still damp, I sprinkled it with Holographic ep, so it has some shimmer. I also used my nesties for the circles, and the bug for the embossed background. When I use my nesties & bug, I usually do a bunch at a time. Then I keep all the die cuts and embossed quarter sheets in a pencil box. They can sometimes sit in there for a year, but they eventually get used. Then when I want a quick card, like this one, it's really just a matter of picking some things out and gluing it all together!
