This card is REALLY pretty IRL and is another submission for the DTGD Fan Club Challenge. If you're not a member you should be! This has been a blast!
Okay. Card base is a dull gold paper with just a little shimmer. The focal point and stamped image on front were stamped with VersaMark and colored with Perfect Pearls. The focal point was placed behind a transparency sheet that was printed with a computer-generated sentiment. This was attached to the bottom layer of the frame with foam squares, behind the oval cut-out (I attached it that way because I built the layers before I decided what I was going to use as a base). The front layer was cut with a larger oval to form the matted frame, and I used a fancy corner punch for interest. This is attached flush to the second layer. The entire piece is attached to the base with dimensionals.

Stunning! Gorgeous! Thanks for explaining your steps. I thought at first that you used chalks, but the Perfect Pearls looks has a lovely shimmer. Colors, images and layout are all wonderful

Wow!! That is so BEAUTIFUL!!! I have been scouring around to find an idea to make a Thank you card... I have now FINALLY found the technique I am going to use. Thank you for the inspiration!
