The One Layer Wednesday challenge over at Simplicity this week is to use shimmer, but not glitter or bling.
A one layer is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half. No other layers of cardstock are permitted.
I colored the flowers with my Signo white gel pen first to get a nice white flower. Then I dry brushed a bit of shimmer paint over that.
Maybe you can see the shimmer better in the close up.
The sentiment is heat embossed.
Card Recipe
Stamps: Easter Blossoms, Thoughts and Prayers
Ink: Black StazOn, Whisper White
Paper: Crumb Cake
Accessories: White Embossing Powder, White Signo gel pen, gold glitter pen, Frost White Shimmer Paint
Thanks for the visit. Enjoy!

ReplyDeletethis is a lovely card, i like how you embossed the edges to bring the focal point alive. beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. I really like this branch stamp, and I like the neutral colors you've chosen. I need to use kraft more often as a card base!

This is gorgeous! I love how the flowers pop off the page and the scored frame is the perfect CAS finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I had the same problem trying to get the shimmer to show up on my photo! I LOVE this stamp....do the flowers stamp in silhouette and then you colored them? THat's what my stamp is. Anyway...I LOVE this. Now I think I might give it a try!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Bonnie. The embossed border is a great touch
