Welcome
I was struggling to make a card this afternoon, I had chosen my stamps but then got 'stuck'. I picked up a paper pack I bought some months ago, and it all continued from there...
I paired the paper with some gray card stock, sponging all the edges with London Fog ink. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment with the same ink
I also stamped just the quote from the set (an old SU set) and then cut it with deckle scissors, and also sponged those edges.
Before I assembled the card I sprayed the paper with some silver shimmer spray, which shows up brilliantly in the light.
The only embellishments were two strips of rhinestones
