Who doesn't love to use sequins in their card making? Verve has a great selection of these little sparklers, and my favorite is by far is the Shine Bright Sequin Mix. I used them on my card today along with some of the sets from the new release.
I like how the sequins look like little seeds floating from the flowers. Or bubbles :) They have such a pretty shimmery sparkle.
The flowers are from the newly released Happy Place stamp set (and were stamped onto the coordinating die cut from the Happy Doodles Die Set). I used the Peaceful Medallions set to create the patterned background panel.
My starting point was this week's Viva la Verve challenge sketch:
