It's been a while since I've made a card. I almost forgot how to make one. This card would almost prove that to me. It took me so much longer to make this card than it should have. I need to get back into practice. It's also been a while since I managed to enter a Dreamweaver challenge. I was determined to enter this month. Since I have so many birthday cards to make for the September birthdays....I thought this would be a good time to use the challenge for one of my cards. I used Dreamweaver stencil LJ885. I paste embossed my stencil with Matte black embossing paste, and after it dried, and I cleaned the stencil. I put the stencil back over top again...and used Perfect Medium to put perfect pearls on top of the black paste, I then used my mini mister to set the Perfect pearls.

This is a pretty card, and that Camus quote is one of my faves. I don't think I have tried that technique yet. So many ideas, so little time! Congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary, Jill. Thanks for visitng my blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Jill-no missing mojo in evidence here! I do agree with you though,if you have some time off it just takes a while to get back into that swing again doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day,Nessa xx

Great colors and design - fab card! It has taken me much longer to do everything lately - I think it is the weather! Hugz!
ReplyDeleteJill, this is so pretty. I love the shimmer and depth of color from the mica powders.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of embossing paste and I haven't used it in forever. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration. Now I have to go dig mine out and see if it dries up!
ReplyDeleteJill, this is one of my all time favorite techniques. So lovely to have the sparkle on that matte black base. Thanks for playing along this month. We are also doing a cross promo with Quietfire stamps...hope you'll join us. Am traveling in the UK right now...and the weather is so much more Fall-like here than the HOT southwest. Ahhhh....
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you were able to play along with us again for the Dreamweaver challenge! Beautiful card, those leaves are just gorgeous!
