Hi friends!
Have you noticed there's a new challenge in blogland? Spellbinders is trying out a monthly challenge, very exciting! The theme for January is Glam, Foil and Shine. You'll find the challenge HERE.
I've used a bunch of Spellbinders products in my card:
Damask 3d Embossing Folder for the background
Gifting Bow Etched Dies for the Ribbon, Bow and Floral dies
La Dolce Vita Banners Etched Dies for the sentiment
I started this card by dry embossing a piece of gold cardstock with the Damask 3d folder that I had inked with watermark ink. My inking had been so heavy that it was a bit all over the card stock... So when I sprinkled gold embossing powder on top, the whole embossed piece got covered, oops! However after heating it this treatment made the piece look like a metal plate or something so I kept going.
I then wiped some white pigment ink on the raised areas and sprinkled clear embssing glitter on top. After heating that powder some of the sparkles showed up pink and blue (if you enlarge the photo, you'll see it better). That made me choose a very pastel and light color scheme for the rest of the card. The ribbon and bow I did cut from gold mirror card to bring even more shine to my project!
I'd also like to join:

ReplyDeleteWow, Nonni, this is absolutely stunning! That gold panel is pure elegance, and I love how you turned a happy “oops” into a gorgeous, metal-like finish—creative magic at its best. The layers of embossing, shine, and soft pastel accents work beautifully together, and that bow is the perfect glam touch.
