Welcome
I decided to try the Faux Mother of Pearl technique, using Liquid Pearls rather than the paint suggested in the tutorial I have linked to. It didn't turn out quite like the tutorial, in that the texture is different, but that was my doing. I sponged the paint with Tumbled Glass DI.
The feature panel is the wonderful Love graffiti stamp from Penny Black,
stamped in Mediterranean Blue.
The sentiment was stamped using a discontinued stamp set.
The lace added to the side of the card was given to me by one of the recipients of the card.
The final details were some silver sequins.

Such an elegance! Super!!!
ReplyDeleteThe MOP look is so elegant as is that bit of lace. The big stamp seems to have inked up very well. Thank you so much for posting your very beautiful art in the #232-#233 - Anything Goes FF Word Art Wednesday Challenge.
