Welcome
I saw the Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop,
and trundelled along some of the blogs and was inspired, especially by Kristie
This afternoon I got to play - I started by rubbing Gelatos onto an acrylic block, spraying it with water, and 'stamping' onto wet watercolour paper - massive fail!!
To redeem it, I coloured directly onto the paper and smooched the colour around with my finger, then dried it.
I then sprayed some silver shimmer over it
- and was quite heavy handed with it.
I had demonstrated cutting this poppy die the other day, and had it sitting on my desk, so applied it to the panel, which I had ripped off the main piece of paper and mounted on a black card base.
A white embossed sentiment and some clear rhinestones finished the card.
I really love how this card turned out, and am proud to link it to the hop.

It turned out beautifully Maxine. Great idea to give it extra shimmer with the silver mist.

a really striking card, very pretty
This card is very pretty and a little different, it almost looks like a candy coating. Thanks for sharing what didn't work out as well as what did. I really appreciate the tips.
I would be very happy with this too Maxine - love those colours and that shimmer - well done! I am now off to check out all of the posts I have missed over the past few days! {{{hugs}}}
This is so gorgeous. Love the contrast between the white, shimmer colors and black.
What a gorgeous card my friend. I love the silver on top of the rainbow. It makes such a beautiful background for your flowers. Rainbows- reminders of God's promises!!!
Love how this turned out! Sometimes the "fails" help us stretch and find something even better! There might even be a life lesson there, right?! ;)
Beautifully done card...great technique!
Gorgeous! LOVE it ♥
Your rainbow panel is so pretty and sparkly ... and really pops on the black background. Fantastic design with the ripped panel. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers.
Beautiful, wonderful, full of so much lovely color and awesome texture!! The details you added just make this such a stellar card!!!
Whoa! This is stunning, Maxine! All those wonderful watercolors and shimmer and shine look marvelous against that black!! Hugs, Darnell
It's stunning! The silver photo'd so well, and the background is quite ethereal. So lovely with the graceful white poppy. Love the torn paper look too. TFS & Hugs
Wow... this is spectacular and I am so glad you took so many close ups to show all the glam and glimmer. It really is gorgeous Maxine... I love the torn paper and strips of colour. I have that die and would never have thought to use it this way but it looks like this is exactly what it was intended for. Good job!
