So I know it is Wednesday but today I have my Try Stampin' on Tuesday post. I have had some issues with my internet connection as well as power outages so I am posting this a day late-hopefully it is worth the wait:) We would love to have you join us for this week's sketch and be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with.
I wish you could see how this card shimmers in real life. I started with a base of Basic Gray and then added a River Rock layer that was embossed using the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder. I then sprayed the whole piece with homemade shimmer mist (I made this by placing about 3-4 drops of Champange Shimmer Paint in to a SU! Spritzer Bottle and filling the rest with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol). On the upper right hand side I notched out a half circle using the 3/4" Circle Punch.
The sentiment is from the Lacy and Lovely stamp set and was die cut using the Labels Framelits. I also die cut the next largest label from Brushed Silver card stock and paper pierced around the shape using the Festive Paper- Piercing Pack. The Primerose Petal DSP is from the Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin' Kit. I scrunched up some Very Vanilla Seam Binding then pleated it on a piece of Sticky Strip along the DSP. The flower image is also from Lacy and Lovely and was stamped in Primrose Petal ink then cut out. To finish the card off I added a Vintage Faceted Button with some Linen Thread.
Jen, this is gorgeous! LOVE the soft colors with the hint of metallic! And your ribbon is fabulous!!! :)
