Welcome
I had fun playing in the studio the other afternoon, and experimenting with my Magicals - both powders and sprays. Although the finish looks matt in this photograph, there is a lot of mica and shine on the background layer.
I started by sprinkling the powders onto the watercolour paper and spraying it, then sprinkling on more powder - it was fascinating watching all the colours
emerge.
Then came a quick 'blat' with some coordinating colours of spray I purchased in July at the Stamp Expo.
Next was a brand new MB Large Ringlets die cut, using white card, and then sprayed with silver shimmer spray. The fish was silver embossed and painted with iridescent blue Twinkling H2O's.
I added the silver embossed sentiment onto a circle die cut, edged it with a white signo pen, and sponged all edges with dark blue ink. The main panel was also embossed with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders die on the edges

Super stunning Maxine! I picked this card out of a linkup and just had to take a closer look! Glad to see it was made by you sweet friend! Big hugs, Autumn
This looks gorgeous Maxine! I can see the shimmer on the second photo, so much fun! I have a set of mica powders somewhere collecting dust, might have to dig them out and see if I can try this technique.
Thanks so much for your inspiration and for sharing at Penny Black and More!
Pooh fabulous card. Love that die. It is on my wish list. It looks amazing for your under water scene.
This is a fabulous design, Maxine! I came home with a lot of super Brusho backgrounds from the British retreat and I love this idea for letting the background shine through, especially since you used the mica powders!! Thank you for the inspiration! Hugs, Darnell
Maxine, this is one of my fave cards from you. Oh, how I love the circle dies. And the effect on the paper with the background is amazing. SUPER.
Love,

Stunning creation, love the dies. The background looks amazing on the photo bet it is even a better eye catcher in real life. This card stood out to me whilst browsing.
