Colorful Greetings that Shimmer

Hi there!

Jessica here, popping in a couple cards I made recently with our new gold shimmer twine... so lovely!  I embellished my card quickly by wrapping the shimmer twine around the card front three times and taping it in the back.  Then, I added a textured button that I embellished with a little shimmer bow.  Rather than trying to thread the eyelet holes on the button, I just tied the bow and added it to the button center with a glue dot... 

much easier that way!

The stamp set I used is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Poppies and Greetings.  I stamped the image in Memento black ink and colored with Copics.  Then, I used a PaperTrey Ink impression plate to emboss the paper, ripping and distressing around the entire image for interest.  To finish it off, I used Colorbox chalk ink around the edges.

For this card,  I choose to use the gold shimmer twine since my rose and paper were warm and golden in tones.  I wrapped the twine around my card base three times and then tied a quick bow.  I didn't add an embellishment to the center of the bow like I usually do because I think our shimmer twine already embellished!

a bit more information on the card .... The rose stamp image is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Rose Blossom (which is colored with Copics) and the birthday sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink's Little Labels.  The patterned papers are from October Afternoon's Good Cheer paper pack.

Have a wonderful day - 

I hope it's filled with things that bring you joy!

Jessica
