Welcome
I'm not sure how the time rushed by quite so quickly - I was going to post again before this but...
This is a card I made recently, using a Catherine Pooler background stamp. It was embossed with white ep, and then painted with mica paints.
This gives some idea of the sheen they gave
The sentiment is an old S/B die, that I cut in gold card, and stacked over two layers of white, but it still got lost on the card face, so I then added a slightly offset layer of black
I recently purchased these gorgeous blue gems, and when I realised the matched the flowers so beautifully, I added them to the three blue flowers and a couple of others for added bling
I kept the inside simple with some geometric pink Washi tape
and because the recipient loves her coffee - I made this tag, using STAMPlorations dies and stamp - Stamped using Espresso ink - some twine finished it.
