It is a wonderful source of colour combinations.
This is just such a gorgeous inspiration picture I love those guys at Design Seeds (well worth a visit). So on to my card, and here it is:-It is a wonderful source of colour combinations.
The sentiment reads: Thank you for being my friend
And this is what I did to create my card: I inked up an embossing folder (cArt-Us) with various colours of Versa Colour inks and then ran it through my Cuttlebug. It was quite pale so I went over the surface area again with the same ink pads to give a bit more colour. I then used some Stamping Up Champagne Mist which I dipped my finger into the lid and then gentle spread a little of this gorgeous glimmer paint over the surface of the embossed area (sorry you can't see that in these photos...) I then stamped my greeting (Hero Arts) on to a scrap of paper that I had cut off of a scalloped card and raised this onto 3D pads for dimension. I finished off the card with some pearls and a flower. Hope that you like it!Catch up with some of my LIMette buddies soon!
Until next time...
Happy Crafting
