I have a new card to share with you today and it's my first entry into the JustRite Challenge blog. I just love their stamps and dies and have a small collection which has been building steadily. The current challenge has photo inspiration along with a designated colour palette.
And here is my card:
I think my photography skills have let me down on this one. I used the Cosmic Shimmer Lustre embossing powder in Pink Pearl which has a gorgeous sheen but this hasn't shown up very well through the photography.
I started with the JustRite French Rose background stamp and used Versamark on yellow pearlescent cardstock. I added the Cosmic Shimmer Lustre embossing powder and heated. I tore the edges of my card and then die cut the Spellbinders Tea Cup, adding the handle in matching cardstock. The doily was coloured with a ProMarker in Pink Mittens from the seasonal limited edition set from last year. My sentiment came from JustRite's All In The Family Large Sentiments set. This was also stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with the Lustre Powder. I coloured the seam binding with the Pink Mittens pen. My dazzler was added with Pinflair glue gel.
For the base card, I scored a piece of Centura Pearl cardstock in half using my Ultimate Pro and then embossed with one of Sue Wilson's embossing folders. To finish the background, I cut and embossed the corners from Spellbinders' Botanical Swirls and Accents set.
Happy crafting,

Thanks for sharing your beautiful card for The Sweet Pea Stampers embossing challenge - love all the shine - Hazel, Design Team x
It's always challenging to photograph shiny cards.I find it really helps me if I photograph shiny cards outside in the shade. That way you don't get that glare that makes the details so hard to see.
Your card is sweet, I love the pretty papers and colours.
Such a pretty card.Thanks for playing along at Sweet Pea Stampers this time - Sue DT
very elegant and feminine! The delicate colors go well with the teacup theme!
Thanks for joining us at Sweet Pea Stampers!
Hugs, Alica ;)
Such a stunning card, love the soft colours and tea-time theme.
I use PicMonkey, which is free, as my photos always come out a bit dark. I use auto adjust and then lighten using the exposure slider. Another crafter put me onto it and I use it all the time now. xx
