Today's card is a "just because" kind of card that I've made using the ever delightful Creative Inspirations paints. I love, love, LOVE them, and one of my favorite ways to use them is the marbled background technique, which you can find here. It is my new favorite technique and I've already done it several times.
This time I've used Tutu Pink, Mellow Yellow and Pink Highlights, the last of which is interesting because it looks ivory until you turn it towards the light, then the shimmery pink shows up.
Here's another closeup. You can see more of the pink down there to the right. I really wish I could have a video within a picture so I could move the card around and show you the shimmer. It is a fascinating way to create an interesting background that can pretty much stand on its own.
I used some lovely product from the Inspired By Stamping shop, including the always versatile Paris stamp set, the new Background Basics III stamp set (behind the word "Paris"), the Fancy Labels Die, and some Colonial Rose Satin Ribbon. Some dots of gold glitter glue at the bottom finish this card.
And that, dear friends, is today's card. Thanks so much for joining me and I wish you a lovely, craft-filled day.
Happy crafting!
