I love it when you can take plain black cardstock and make it look elegant. That's just what happened on this card. With the stunning Floral Border Stamp (SD914) and a sentiment from the Anniversary Set (SS100), and some Versamark with a twist, the card turned out very elegant (in my very humble opinion, lol).
To create this card, I started with a piece of black cardstock cut to 4" x 5.50". The image was stamped on the MISTI using Versamark, then dusted with Perfect Pearls (Pearl). I wanted a little more shimmer, so I dusted the entire piece of cardstock with Perfect Pearls then took a soft brush and removed the excess powder, which left it with a beautiful sheen across the whole piece. To add even a little more glam and glimmer, I added more shimmer to the flowers and leaves with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen. Just look at this closeup! So pretty.
I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and shined it up with some silver embossing powder. To finish off the card, I attached the black panel to a gray card base and added some pearls for a little extra elegance.
The stamp sets I used were just two of the 15 new releases for April! All these wonderful stamps are on sale for 15% off only until the 8th of this month, so you better hurry!
