I finally got my idea to work for
FMS, but just can't get a decent picture. The embossed panel is hard to see, but is a pretty foliage design. I borrowed it from one of the gals at the craft retreat.
Ellen Hutson Hex Frames were die cut from silver cardstock & the solid section was mounted with fun foam. The little branches are Alexandra Renke Myrtella die cuts covered in the beautiful WOW Sparkles Santorini, Ice Pop & Peachy Keen glitter. Can't get enough of these glitters!
The flower is Poppystamps Layered Lovely Flowers covered in the same glitters. Love the little alpha stickers for a sentiment & finished with a black enamel dot. I covered white cardstock scraps with double sided adhesive for the glittered die cuts. Makes adding glitter so easy.
Next is the card I made for
DRU &
ABNH. I started with a watercolor panel & brushed on 3 Altenew Metallic Watercolors. They have a wonderful shimmer in person.
Hero Arts border die was cut from heavy vellum & Poppystamps Happy Birthday Poe Script from silver glitter tape attached to cardstock. I added pewter Distress Stain splatters, silver metallic thread & some clear gems.
Lots of shimmer & sparkle in person. I'm sending this one for a 1/2 birthday since I forgot to send a card in January 🙁
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
