Today's card is a Slim Line card that features the Array of Fall Stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. I started by stamping the flower image on both sides of my 8.5" x 3.5" Canson XL Watercolor paper with a black pigment ink. Because Pigment ink stays wet for awhile, I covered with a clear embossing ink and heat set it.
Next, I sprinkled Sunray Crossette, Solar Flare, and Catherine Wheel Shimmer powders from Nuvo over the front and than sprayed the entire thing with water to get the powders moving. I continued with the shimmer powders and water until I was happy with the result. Then I set it aside to dry, (I usually do this overnight).
Once my panel was dry, I cut it down to 8.25" x 3.25" and attached it to a Kraft Slim Line card base (8.5" x 3.5"). For my sentiment I stamp it with the same Pigment ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Using a circle die from my stash to cut it out, I adhered it with liquid glue to the top 1/3 of my card. To finish it off, I added some black gems scattered across my card. The shimmer powder is hard to film with a camera, but you can see a hint of it in the photo below.
This card is absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to have to try these shimmer powders. Thanks for the inspiration!
