Rainbow Lady's Challenge 82 - MICA POWDERS



The challenge over at Rainbow Lady was to make a Card, ATC, Tag, Inchie etc, using Mica Powders
I chose to make a card using one of my favourite stamps, after stamping with Versamark I sprinkled Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder over the image, heat set then used my Cosmic Shimmers in various colours.
This is the first time I have actually mastered using Cosmic Shimmers. This is a big thankyou to my Rainbow friend, Frankie.
Frankie's advice was to use a number 4 paintbrush and I have to say, it works.
So I will be using my Cosmic Shimmers & Moonglow Mica's a lot more now.
The scan doesn't show up the glimmer, in 'real life' it is stuning.

Craftyanns Challenge No 3 TEXTURE



Here is my card for Craftyanns
Ann's challenge this week was 'Texture'
I took a blank silver pearlescent card from my stash to which I added a square of textured paper. The paper was made using 'Starburst Stain's available from The Stampman. Unfortunately I have forgotten which set of stains this is from as I have done lots recently. I used the 'Scrunch' technique and after it had dried I applied ink from my Versamark Pad before covering with Gold Embossing Powder/
Three flowers have been added from my stash which I think complement the colours, a butterfly brad attached to the centre of the flowers gives a finishing touch, as do the brads on each corner.
I hope that Ann likes what I have done and that it will fulfill her challenge this week.
