The current challenge at CASology is “Shimmer.” It was a chance to pull out Altenew’s “Needlework Motif” in my ongoing determination to use stamps that have seen little love or have never been used.
I also pulled out a piece of shimmery bronze cardstock for the card base. The gorgeous design was stamped in black on white cardstock and watercolored with beautiful shimmery metallic paints that I acquired many years ago during a class at a new defunct stamp store here. The paints were hand-labeled and I have no memory of who the manufacturer might have been. I used just two colors: gold and bronze.
Here’s a closer look, although the shimmer of the cardstock and paints are much more beautiful IRL.
I’ve been away from the craft room for a few days, and it’s good to be back!
Lovely card. Thanks for playing along with us on the CASology Challenge blog.
OH I like this card a lot. It really does look like needlework. Shimmer paints are all the rage right now & I have a pot of rose gold from a kit – it kind of scares me to use but your use of it, definitely encourages me to give it a go.
Very nice. Reminds me a bit of Victorian porcelain.
Awesome card! Love the modern flower image and the touches of shimmer! Thanks for joining us at CASology!
So lovely and elegant, Karen! Thanks for joining us at CASology!
