Todays card is for The Friday Mashup #51. This weeks challenge was to create a quilted card and use scraps that have been forgotten. I just love this herringbone technique. It is really fun to create and always gives stunning results. I've had this patterned paper in my stash for a couple of years now and just havn't used it much. I believe it's from K & Company. I remember picking out in the store and thinking at the time that I could do so many things with it. I guess that was not to be, because once I got it home it just sat. The Friday Mashup Challenge was the perfect place to put this paper to use and I'm thrilled with the results! For the finishing touch, I cut two little flowers from the Blossom Party die and misted them both with Champagne Shimmer mist. This adds so much to any card. I made my own shimmer mist by mixing 1 part shimmer paint to 2 parts rubbing alcohol. I mixed them up in a little mister bottle and voila! Champagne Shimmer mist!
Here are the supplies I used on this card....
Stamps: Card Chatter-Sympathy from Close To My Heart
Paper: DP from K & Company, Soft Suede, Vanilla
Ink: Soft Suede
Accessories: Blossom Party Die, Framelits die, Champagne Shimmer Mist, Half Pearl, Twine, Script EF
Thanks for taking a peek!

Beautiful card! I love your papers!
ReplyDeleteOh I really like the effect of that quilting pattern. Lovely job and very pretty papers. I make my own shimmer mist in a similar way, but don't use as much paint in the mix, it still gives the same shimmer but doesn't use up quite so much paint. Give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing in our Quilted card challenge.
