A big congrats to Carlene, our newest Featured Stamper! Her gallery is beautiful & she always leaves the sweetest comments! I chose THIS to case. I love the sun ray embossing so I kept that, but I used different colors, different die cut bg & made mine an Easter card.
For my Easter card, I first die cut & embossed the sunburst bg. Then I stamped the greeting w/ Versacolor indigo pigment ink then heat embossed it w/ pastel embossing powder. The embossing powder lightens the ink color & gives it a slight metallic sheen. For the lilies, I put the image into my Misti, stamped it w/ sky blue ink, lightly colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ the same indigo ink & embossed w/ the same powder. Then I did quite a bit of fussy cutting on them.
Congrats again, Carlene! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a stunning Easter card this is Julie! I love how you took Carlene's great inspiration and turned it into this gorgeous card. This bg is absolutely amazing and truly showcases this beautiful lily you have colored so perfectly. The white and gold sequins are the perfect finishing touch on this beautiful card! ~Karen.
