Hello! I have a very pretty card to share today, and I used an older medium, Perfect Pearls! I am convinced that they are making a comeback, and I think that this detailed stamp set is the perfect style for them.
I stamped my flower on the background with Versamark ink and then used Gold Perfect Pearls. After brushing off the excess, I spritzed the card with water to set the medium.
For the focal point, I heat embossed the same flowers with gold embossing powder on watercolor cardstock. I wet the cardstock and then sprinkled Cobalt Brusho Powders over top. I let this dry naturally so I would get variations in the colors.
I left a spot in the upper left of the focal area for my sentiment. I wasn’t sure if I would use this for a birthday card or maybe even a Sympathy card, if a need arises. I also did a bunch of Perfect Pearl backgrounds with the different flowers from this sheet so I have more cards to create in the future.
Supplies:
I Brake for Stamps Floral Half Sheet, Versamark Ink, Perfect Pearls Gold, Brusho Colbalt, Detail Embossing Powder Gold, Stardream Antique Gold cardstock, Spellbinders Fancy Rectangle Dies
