Garden Scene with Shimmer Paint

This was a bit of an experiment because I wanted to find something different to do with my retiring Garden Scene dies.

So I used the die in one corner of a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then lightly sponged with Frost White Shimmer Paint.

I found an oval label on my desk, left over from something-or-other, and white heat embossed the sentiment from the Stitched All Around stamp set.

Sponging with Shimmer Paint onto Basic Black cardstock with a debossed pattern.

The black leaf is cut with one of the Flourish dies. Then this simple card is finished with some Black Shimmer Ribbon, Basic Adhesive Sequins and Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems.

In this first attempt at sponging on the shimmer paint - I was a bit too heavy handed and filled in all the indentations

By being a bit more light handed and sparing with the shimmer paint, the black lines of the embossed pattern show nicely

Country Floral Silver and Black

To start this card, I embossed some Basic Black cardstock with the Country Floral Embossing Folder (until 31 March FREE with a $90 purchase!).

The photo does not do justice to the silvery shimmer in this card

I then gently swiped a Whisper White ink pad over the embossed piece and let it dry. The white ink takes a while to dry, so this is an ideal opportunity to work on another project, go shopping or do whatever tasks you have on your to do list!

Once the ink was dry, I used a sponge dauber to gently add some Frost White ink to the flowers and foliage with the deepest embossing. I did this a couple of times. Try as I might - I can't get the shimmer to show up in my photos!

Then I cut my piece in half to make two cards. Each piece has a silver frame and is adhered to a black base card.

Country Floral embossing enhanced with white and silver inks

The sentiments are from the Eastern Beauty stamp set. I punched them out with a 1" circle punch and then added a layer of black card cut with the smallest of the Layering Circles dies.

The foliage for the thank you card is cut from Silver Foil with dies from the Butterfly Beauty set and the foliage for the other card is punched with the Sprig and Leaf punches. Some of the foliage is sponged with Stazon Jet Black ink.
