My first use of the Manhattan flower embossing folder from SU! Wow, this thing is neat! What an awesome impression! I made this one in black just to quickly show a friend that had stopped by, then later decided I might as well use it.
Do you remember the old technique of putting a bit of Pearl Ex in a travel size hairspray bottle then spritzing the cardstock for overall shimmer?! Well, that's what I did here. I used Micro Pearl colored pearl ex, mostly because that's the only bottle that would still spray. It is shimmery, but I wish I could get a better picture!
The sentiment is from Oval All, in the new Occasions Mini that will be out APril 1. Same with the scalloped oval punch layered under it! This ribbon is from the Valet collection of Ribbon Originals. It is a shiny, luscious baha breeze color!
The last detail I added is the only thing that is not by Stampin' Up! and that is the 2 dew drops at the bottom. They are that baha color so I couldn't resist (especially since they've been missing and I finally found them!).
