This week I wanted to use the Butterfly Gala stamp set on its own. Unfortunately, we have been without the Butterfly Duet punch since February so I wanted to create a card just using the stamp set. The punch and the bundle should be available by the end of March, and it will be carrying over to the 2019-20 Annual Catalogue (although not at the great bundle price).
This technique is also great if you are scared of colouring. By embossing in clear or black embossing powder the images resist the ink and therefore 'pop' from the card. The 'smooshing' technique is random, you can't get it wrong (unless you use too many colours and it goes brown/grey) and each project will be unique.
Adding the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint adds a marbling effect to the inks, and you get these streaks and splodges of gorgeous shimmer layered in the ink. I think it is beautiful. I used the same technique with just shimmer paint on a piece of DSP and it looked like very expensive pink marble.
