Hello and welcome to The Craft's Meow February release blog hop. Visit The Craft's Meow blog to see the full list of participants. I used the new Rejoice stamp set on my card.
I used an interesting technique to create the shimmery background paper, I embossed some Core'dinations cardstock using the Baroque embossing folder from Sizzix, then using a glue pen covered the raised sections (it did take a little while) and added some gilding flakes. I brushed off the excess flakes and buffed to a shine with a soft bristled brush.
The lovely large sentiment is from the new Rejoice stamp set, the sentiments in this set are such a great size. They really make a statement.
To coordinate with the shimmery background I added some gorgeous Gold Shimmer Twine from SRM Stickers. I love this stunning twine, it really is fabulous!
Just a reminder that the Soaring High stamp set is February's free gift with $50 purchase. It really is a fab free gift!
The color inspiration was from this week's Tuesday Trigger - Set The Table at Moxie Fab World, I was really inspired by the metallic elements and neutral tones in the photo.
