Welcome
I am so glad you have popped in for a visit
I made this card for a swap with Monika who crafts in Germany
I started by stencilling the background (Stencil was Mini Daisy Cluster by Crafter's Workshop) with iridescent medium and Distress Oxide Wild Honey, which although not immediately obvious, gives a fabulous sheen to the colour.
The die cut comes from a die I received from Shelly as a RAK - brand unknown
I die cut it from a scrap of deep olive card stock, sprayed with Lindy's My Mojito Green, adhered vellum to the back of it, and then adhered it to the card front.
I was so glad the camera picked up the sparkle of both the background and the die cut.
The finishing touch was to add some herring bone ribbon and a bow, and then I added the wee touch of sparkle gold ribbon. The front panel was mounted over a dark blue base.
