Shimmery Rose Garden Background

I shared this photo of a card made with the Rose Garden Thinlits on my blog earlier this week. The Rose Garden Thinlits are on sale this week, so it's a great time to pick them up! I will be featuring them at my Stamp Club next week, also.

Shimmery White cardstock gives this project a gentle glow. I used a sympathy sentiment, but I think it would make a beautiful wedding card too! I wanted a subtle, textured effect, so I chose just one shape to use on the entire card. You could use a different shape or even combine two or more.

Here is a side view. You can see a bit more of the shimmer here:

Paper Pumpkin Monday: Banner Birthday

The March Paper Pumpkin, "Pocketful of Cheer," has so many bits and pieces to use! Here I've used the striped piece across the top, as well as another decorative strip among the banners. The little green pearl is from the kit, also. The color scheme from the March kit has really inspired me, and I've had to force myself to use different colors lately. I just love the blues and greens together!

Paper Pumpkin Monday: Pocketful of Cheer and Gold Wink of Stella

These are the last few days of Sale-a-bration 2016! 

Please click here to see the FREE items that are still available with your $50 purchase. 

I am so in love with this month's kit! It has taken over my crafting table AND my crafting brain! This card is inspired by the color scheme of the kit and uses 2 of the darling stamps. I love the font! And the little flowers draw the eye to the watercoloring, I think.

To get this effect, I used a clear acrylic block as a palette. I added Bermuda Bay ink, Pool Party ink, and Gold Wink of Stella. A couple spritzes of water made them all flow together, and I quickly used the block as a stamp on my Thick Whisper White cardstock. I re-stamped a few times till all the ink was (mostly) off the block.

In real life, there is a sheen of gold over the whole piece, but it's really hard to capture the subtle effect in a photo! Add a little Wink of Stella to your next project and watch it shine!
