Sparkly Valentine

Greetings! It is already time for Challenge #3 at PanPastels Challenge UK. This week, our challenge is to create a project with Glitter and Glitz. For my card, I started with a white card stock panel. I sponge three different colors of PanPastels onto it and was rewarded with this rich red background. My focal image is clip art from Crafty Individuals. The sentiment is by Stampsmith. Sparkle includes metallic gold background paper panels, glittered German Scrap roses, and Stickles Glitter Glue. Embellishments include a doily, seam binding, embossed and punched hearts and rhinestone hearts by Martha Stewart. I have much to learn about PanPastels but am having so much fun! Does anyone have a suggestion for how to keep card stock from rolling up after spraying it with fixative? I would be most appreciative. Thanks for dropping by and have a wonderful day. Best, Yvonne

BEautiful work Yvonne, gorgeous background and I love all the roses. A real stunner. I haven't had any problems with card curling, maybe if you just used a very light spray of fixative if wouldn't curl as much.
Thanks for joining us at PanPastel UK and good luck

Lovely card - that red is just beautiful!
I use to put the card under a book once the fixativ is dry to keep it flat. I'm new to to PP aswell and learning each day...
