I'm not sure where I saw the tip on using Shimmer Paint on card stock, or who posted it, but I thank them very much! When we got Shimmer Paint many years ago, I had seen it used this way, but as time passed, I forgot about it again!
Today's card uses Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint applied with our new Blending Brushes over Magenta Madness card stock to give it a fabulous pearlised finish! I then die cut the card stock using the die that embosses and cuts a butterfly from the Fluttering Dies set. Hasn't it turned out beautifully??!!
The frangipani from Timeless Tropical is another simply stunning flower to use and works with the butterflies so well! The sentiment was from Forever Fern.
