Here is My Card.....
I have used Dimensional Die cuts, Stamping and my choice is stencilling and embossing paste.
I started with stamping the text heart in black.
I popped black embossing paste through a stencil and heat embossed a couple of
Lindy Embossing powders. The effect is quite different on Black Paste.
The three die cuts have been layered several times and I used the same
Lindy embossing powders, heating and layering several times too.
The effect is really quite eye catching and super shiny.
The die cut heart had the same treatment and also a layer of thick gloss.
The edging on the left is heat embossed over black card.
I popped on this photo to show the vast difference of the effect of the Lindys...
depending on light etc.
I finished off with a gold acrylic paint around some of the edges.
This card is for my DH and the flower head, which I thought looked like a thistle
is a nod to him being Scottish and hence the colour of the purple as my inspiration.
I don't have a lot of the Lindy Embossing Powders but they give the same amazing
colour variations and effects as the wonderful Sprays and Magicals.
I had a lot of fun making this card and thank you Hideko for the fun challenge.
Thank you for finding time to stop by and I am looking forward to seeing
your fabulous creations in the gallery.

What a stunning card you created for your DH, Mac! The shiny and shimmery texture and the dimension of the die-cuts are just amazing. The purple and gold are so eye-catching, and the black embossing paste and the black card are working as a subtle weight behind the scene, which is a fantastic effect.
