This card is for today's challenge.
Shimmer and Glimmer.
I had an empty stamp cleaner bottle and added 1 oz water, 10 drops bravo burgundy and some Perfect Gold Perfect Pearls. I started with a white 8 1/2 x 11 and went to town. I decided to try to mist a stamp. Before doing this, I had an old reverse masking mask with two way glue on it that I covered the wood block with to prevent serious staining. I lightly misted the flowers and stamped. I lightly misted over them. I was amazed at how light it came out. I am sure if I added more color it would darken, but being summer, I liked the color. Then I started pulling paper out to see what it would match.
The outline for the flower was stamped off once with Rose Red before stamping on flowers.
The happy birthday is from birthday whimsey but as is, it does not fit the word window. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to reduce the space between the two words so it would fit the punch. The next layer was cut not too carefully as I can see in the picture...
You can see some shimmer in the upper left corner, but it really does shimmer irl!!
Thanks for looking!!
