You are Amazing....

April Challenge-Mid Month Reminder....

at STAMPlorations ......
for their CAS Challenge 

The Design Team is fabulous and always come up with the 
most original, creative and stunning inspiration. 
STAMPlorations have a very active Blog, if you've time pop across and take a look....
They also have great challenges, incorporating lots of different crafting styles.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to Guest with you this month.
Anything goes with the optional twist of Spring Greens.
I started with masking off the center panel and blending  black distress ink.
I used a stencil for the flower....Metallic paints first and once dried clear embossing paste.
I also used a stencil for the dots and gold embossing paste.
The script text was stamped  and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
I finished off with stamping the sentiment in black 
and then versa mark and gold embossing powder at the bottom.
Ye Ha for the Misti.
The metallic paints and gold embossing has given a beautiful shine to the card.

I will be entering my card into..............

Mac, your card is great! So glad that you are Guest Designer with us this month, you use mixed media techniques so elegantly keeping cards still very simple, but with special effects. As this time - embossing paste over metallics gives a beautiful result. - Sweet Kobylkin
