Prima flower, pearl button and pearls from my stash.



Just a quick reminder of our Spectrum Noir June challenge - create a background.  My tutorial card would be suitable for entry into the challenge, because of the dot detailed background.  We would love for you to join us, using your Spectrum Noir markers and/or pencils.
