I used Technique Junkies stamps Christmas In Dots and All Is Calm.
I created the background on watercolor paper.. I rubbed distress inks in broken china, mermaid lagoon, and salty ocean. Then I spritzed it with Shimmering Bliss Sprays in Dolphin's Cove, Lapis Lazuli, and a little Mardi Gras Purple. The shimmer!!! Oh, my.
I dried it bone dry with my heat tool, then embossed the
Christmas In Dots in silver, and while it was out, I embossed the verse All Is Calm onto eggplant card stock.
I layered the panel onto silver sparkle card stock, then onto an eggplant card. I used foam tape to add the verse to the front. I kept un-embellished, with the exception of one gem piece with the verse.
I wish it had photographed better, so you could appreciate the shimmer and shine between the Shimmering Bliss and the silver embossing and glitter card stock. Difficult to capture on camera.
