Wedding card ~ the First Dance ♥

Kortet mitt i dag har et nydelig bryllups motiv fra Sugarnellie kalt 'First dance' ♥ Du kan finne det her hos Papirplaneten, og mange andre flotte stempler, som de fine tekststemplene jeg har brukt fra Kort & Godt :)

Etter å ha sett youtuben fra Jennifer McGuire Easy Distress Ink Watercolor Backgrounds ble jeg inspirert til lage bakgrunnen på kortet mitt med resist embossing teknikk og perfect pearls shimmer. Jeg brukte Distress ink stempelputene 'Pumice Stone' og 'Hickory Smoke', og lot embossingen være på, fin effekt! Er mye mere shimmer på kortet i virkeligheten :)

~  Papirplanetens Februar utfordring: Kjærlighet ~

My card today is a DT-card for PapirPlaneten, an norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe. The theme for february is ofcourse LOVE ♥ The wedding couple is a Sugarnellie stamp named 'First Dance' from the Homegrown collection :)

The fab background on my card is a technique I learned from watching Jennifer McGuires Easy Distress Ink Watercolor Backgrounds on youtube. The embossing resists the ink and with the generous spritz of perfect pearls water, the card full of shimmer, and the twinks and diamond brad add to the bling as well! For my background I used DI 'Pumice Stone' og 'Hickory Smoke', a great color combo :)
