Allsorts Challenge ~ Make Your Own Background

Ellie has chosen 'Make Your Own Background' for the Allsorts Challenge theme this week.  As always, there is always the Anything Goes option.

I made my background with Pixie Powders, sprayed with water.  I used a new Simon Says Stamp 'Leaf Branch Oval' in a rectangle of white card and layered it over the inky background.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Boho Indigo' set, stamped with Versafine 'Nocture'.  I added a punched flower and a few gold coloured gems.
 
Our generous sponsors are  Polkadoodles and Oakwood.

I am joining in the following challenges:
