I'm sharing a card using some more new items I received just before Christmas. In particular some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone. It took me so long to decide to order this but I am so glad I did! I have lots of texture pastes & you can use glitter with them but the mess can be frustrating. Not only is there no glittery mess with these glimmer pastes but they are simply dazzling! Moonstone is a clear iridescent and the colours in the glitter matched the colours on my watercolour panel perfectly!
Now, apologies for the photography but I must have taken 40 different shots with both phone & camera in several different lights trying to bring out the colour of the glitter! I nearly went insane doing it but this was the best shot if a little dark. The close up below is a little better.
I started with a panel watercoloured with Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade distress inks & splattered with Prima Color Bloom Empress Gold. I die-cut W&W Hello cutaway from the watercolour piece & twice more from white card & stacked. Before adhering to the card front I applied the Nuvo Glimmer paste using Prima Tubaroses stencil which was also part of my new stash.
I am entering into the following challenges -
The Card Concept #64 - Pretty things - my inspiration was the colour of the flowers & gold accent for a CAS design
Happy Little Stampers January CAS Challenge - Stencil
SSS Wednesday Challenge - New Something
This is stunning and I see the sparkle really well, I love the soft colours and the subtle background, a gorgeous card. Thanks for joining HLS CAS challenge
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design, Rose! And you just sold me on the moonstone glitter paste! I so agree, using "real" glitter always makes such a mess, and your results are wonderful! The pastel pink and yellow work so nicely, too - thanks so much for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!

ReplyDeleteThanks Julie.
DeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with photographs as of late! I think I'll blame it on the sun, or the earth's position relative to the sun, or poltergeists, lol!! It sparkles showed up well on this gorgeous card. Love the soft pastel look of this, and the lovely CAS design you've got going on. This is so pretty. Another fantastic card, my friend!! : ) Bev
