Welcome
Life has thrown me a curve ball these past few days and I am not impressed. This will be a quick post as I have limited time.
I started this card by dropping some Lindy's Stamp Gang powders onto my water colour paper, then sprayed them with water.
The mica in the powders, and then in the spray I used over them again, gave the background an amazing gleam IRL
After drying this panel, I then used Versamark ink and sponged it through a stencil before embossing it in silver EP
I stamped and silver embossed the sentiment - and using the MISTI meant that when the first try was not as good as I would have liked it, I could repeat and get the required result.
I layered the initial panel over a cream one, added the silver and purple ribbons, tied a double bow and added it with a glue dot, then layered them all onto the purple base.
