Hello!
Today's card was made using a chipboard tag that I had painted with Creative Inspirations Paints in Tutu Pink and Mellow Yellow. I love pink and yellow together as it reminds me of spring flowers (think roses especially), so I use them together every chance I get. Once the paint was dry I stamped it with the sentiment and some leafy flourishes.
I also wanted to use a piece of background paper that I had made months ago using the acrylic block technique and waterbase markers on a piece of glossy paper. The finished product looked so like a sunset and I've been waiting for a chance to use it ever since. The marbled colors on the tag sort of blend in with the sunset-ty colors, don't you think?
Here is a view of the tag and orange mat that show the shimmery qualities, especially of the mat. It was dark coral, but I brushed the edges with Rose Quartz which turned it a slightly pinker color, then I inked the edges with distress ink.
Look closely at the tag for a sneek peak of a new product that Creative Inspirations is about to release. Fun!
A satin bow and some rhinestones complete this card. Thank you for joining me, and I hope you'll head on over to the Creative Inspirations challenge blog and play along. This fortnight's challenge is Mother's Day. See you there!!
Happy crafting!

Stunning card, Shea! I love the little tag! Mwah!!
What a stunning scene!
Shea! Your card is just amazing! Just beautiful! Wow!!!
Hi, Shea! So glad you took more than one photo so I can better see all the amazing details on your card, right down to the glittery frame surrounding your pretty park scene. I have not tried that technique yet, but it is now on my "to do" list. Your black details really dress the card up! Wonderful card, ma'am! hugs, de
Stunning card! I love the Rose Quartz edge. It's one of my favorite colors!
I saw your comment on my blog. If you want to try stamping with CI paint, like I did for my charm necklaces, just brush some paint onto a craft mat, press your stamp into the paint, and stamp onto cardstock. I used a cheaper, non-textured cardstock for a smooth finish. =)
