Finished a summery card

Hi, everyone!
 After the two parties of the visitors in these few days left my home for their each countries, I accessed the Hero Arts blog, -just about four hours ago-, I tried to make a card. I knew that it was really reckless attempt, becase only two hours were left till the limit to entry at that moment.
But I could finish it. So I sent it to Frickr to join the June challenge Round 2.
Wow..., five months has already passed since my last entry.

Here is the card, 'You are the best'.

 I used 8 pastels for the stamped image of the Scallop greenery, after stampd it with deep lagoon color oil-based ink.

And this photo is the one that I took pic with the pastels I used.

And, this is a closeup.

 The reason I used pastels was...this has the merit to get an interesting effect and also I can expect rapid coloring and finishing. For this reason, I sometimes do it.
 After I colored on the stamped image with these pastels broadly, spreaded them by finger to mix each pastels. After that, sprayed the mist of Perfect Pearls with water to fix the pastels and to add a bit shimmer effect on it. And one more ... , this way brings to add another effect mixed Pastel powders and Perfect Pearls on the surface.

 The part of the bottom half is...,
 Stamped the background stamp with white dye ink first, stamped it again with VersaMark Champane and embossed with clear powder.
This time, I chose the combination of champane color and clear embossing powder, because I also wanted to get 'a bit shimmer effect' for this part, the same as the center piece. ;)
