Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend?
My husband and I were out on our anniversary date on Saturday when I came across a wonderful new book by Magenta Stamps that details all kinds of techniques for dressing up papercrafts - of course, I bought the book! The photos are fantastic and I couldn't wait to try some of the ideas. The first one I tried was embossing and using pearlized 'paint' to color in an image. I stamped the flower first in SU! white craft ink and then embossed using clear embossing powder. Then I mixed Ranger Perfect Pearls (in red and purple) with water to create pearlized 'paint' and carefully, using a very thin brush, colored in the flower.
Here's a close up of the pearlized effect :
To create the card base I used SU! cardstock and Deja Views Global Trek patterned paper along with my favorite border punch and some dreamy SU! organdy ribbon.
Enjoy!
