Now for the happy shimmery cards! These cards happened because I had just finished making my Case the Catty card when trying to get the creative juices flowing. The back panel design is essentially the same as the Case the Catty card but I stamped over the entire piece of cardstock. I also just got these two “new to me” ink colours - Highland Heather and Balmy Blue and I wanted to play with them. I heat embossed with white embossing powder after I stamped all the line art stamps in the set with Versamark. After I add the white embossing powder I heat it with a heat gun and it melts on the card giving the lines a glossy finish and raised texture. Because the white is glossy, the ink will no longer stick to it. This is where I used a sponge dauber and dabbed it lightly into my juicy new ink pads and swirled it around in the center of the Dahlias. The ink blends into the cardstock underneath giving dimension to the images. I also recently acquired the Frost White shimmer paint/ink. I added a few drops of it to a Mini Mister and sprayed the panel. It dries pretty quickly and becomes the perfect pearlesque shimmer. From there I wrapped some white twine around the panel three times and taped it down on the backside. The Thank You Kindly sentiment was stamped in each card’s respective colour and die cut with, yet again… another Tasteful Labels die. I used dimensions on the sentiment label so it sat flush with the twine, adhered the completed panel to a Basic White card base and the cards were complete!
