Do you ever make something and want to run to someone and say... LOOK WHAT I MADE! Only you know your husband will just give you the sympathy "yeah, nice" and your children will look at you like "mom are you crazy?" Well, that is why I have a blog. So I can run and share my creations with someone(s) who care!
Here is a card I made just cause I wanted to try brayering my texturz plate with ink and then running some paper through with it! Well, the ink is a little blotchy in parts but it gave it a cool look!
I also added dots at the points where the diamonds meet with my white gel pen, creating a fun and cute background.
If you look close can you see my velum sweetest stem embossed die cut!
Another detail you might not be able to see is that I embossed the "thank you" with Iridescent Ice powder! With the final addition of the hat pin and beads from the Pretties Kit, I was pleasantly surprised how this card came together with a elegant flare.
Thanks for visiting, I know you can be excited with me!
Happy Stampin'
Carrie
Absolutely beautiful!! This card has all the right touches! And yes I know what you mean about wanting to show off your work. Husbands just don't appreciate our artistic ability!!
