Stamples is the Featured Stamper this week and has a truly inspiring Gallery! There were several I had trouble choosing from! I decided to go allll the way back to the first card she posted--from 8/23/2006!!
I recently watched a Gina K. video w/Jennifer McGuire and they demo'd several embossing folder techniques. Jennifer did one where she embossed on mirror cs and then sanded it. I liked how it looked so much, I decided to try it here using that first card as inspiration. You definitely need to use a light hand when sanding!
It's hard to photograph holographic cardstock but I can assure you, this card simply sparkles. The 'Pink Sugar' was a find at my favorite 'craft thrift' store and I snapped it up as soon as I saw it. Hope everyone has a fun and safe New Year's Eve! Here's to 2024!

I love everything shiny and sparkly, and this is just fantastic! I love the sanding technique on the shiny, embossed background, and the strips of sparkling stars are the perfect accompaniment. Then that lovely pink sentiment is perfect to usher in the new year! Beautiful!
