When I learn a new technique at PTI Make it Monday, usually I want to give it a second try if I didn't get it right the first time, but every single time, I just couldn't find time to complete the mission, it is rather peaceful and quiet here this week, so I get a chance to make my second attempt happened.
I wasn't very happy with my first card for this challenge, and then Ros gave me a tip, she mentioned to me that smoother paper might be able to get a better result, so.... I tried, and did it, YAY! Thank you Ros!
I really like the softer look compared to my first card here, I used watercolor paper for that one, thinking that it would absorb water better.
I used some sequins from PTI Make it Market kit as well as the new vellum paper released last month, I love them! Unlike other vellum, this one at PTI has a good weight and doesn't curl up like other vellum paper does.
Even though I can't link this card to the challenge now that PTI has a ONE CARD rule, but I am happy that I finally get the result I want! YAY!

This is so pretty, Kirsty! I love the softness of the smooshing with the black inked sentiment. The vellum and sequins add some detail but also keep it soft :)
Kirsty, this is fantastic, I love it. :)
sweet card

I'm so glad I could help because the result is beautiful!! Love the colours, they are blend so well and the sequins are so pretty!
So very pretty, Kirsty ... the softly blended colours are lovely with those shimmery sequins! Anita :)
Gorgeous, Kirsty!! The smoother paper is a great tip, and your smooshing background is wonderful in those colors!
Very pretty card!
LOVE how your Take 2 turned out! The colors are so soft and Pretty and the sequins are FAB!
Very pretty card, the soft green looks wonderful with the light pink
Nice -love the effect of the green color!
I Love it.. But then again I LOVED the first card. The watercolored smooshing looks so cool to me. Makes for a wonderful background.

Oops, I thought the other card was your second try. I'll admit to loving them both for different reasons. This is so soft and delicate. Very nice!
Very pretty! I actually like both backgrounds. I like the texture on the first and the softness of colors on the second. The design is great and the sequins add lots of interest.
For me it's a winner :) Love that suble look in these shades and that dotted background is gorgeous too.

Pretty cards here and below!! LOve the smooshing look below, how fun.
Wish I could make cards this well. I've needed several this week for family/friends and had to buy them. It was was very hard to find some that I liked and just had to settle on them being just "ok".
Oh how beautiful, Kirsty! Love the colors you chose & the new vellum papers are on my wishlist--now more than ever!
Oh, yes! Beautiful!
