Treat Yourself

I'd shown you the card my mum made yesterday and this is the card I'd made. I played with the sketch from Karen Giron and had fun with it. Nice simple, clean lines. The main image (from the Occasions Mini!) was stamped twice and watercoloured. Then I cut out a couple different parts to layer it for more dimension: a new fav technique at the moment! Both the Real Red and Whisper White layers were dry embossed, using the Texturz Backgrounds (exclusive patterns to Stampin Up!), just to add some fun texture! Super easy to use, too. I did find that to get the best texture, you need to add a shim (like a double layer of CS or a thin piece of chipboard - like a cereal box) under the texturz plate, then lightly spritz your piece to be embossed with water, and then roll through the Big Shot. Fabulous results every time!

Of course, I just had to use the Rockabilly DSP for this one. I LOVE the gloss! I took a side pic so you can see the gloss on this piece. Both designs are actually part of the same paper, I just used both sides!! To see it even better, just click on the pic to make it bigger.

So, hope you like it and thanks for stopping by today!
