I had so much fun making today's card. This was a late night creation that just came to me when I was getting ready to go to sleep. I had to run to my craft room to bring this card to life. I got the Stampin' Up! Tasteful Touches set strictly because it had a feather image. I love feathers. They bring me feelings of calm. I decided to pair the feather image and one of the texture stamps with the Namaste sentiment from the Today's Tiles stamp set.
I used shimmery white cardstock as the base for my background. I used sponge daubers to apply Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, and Pretty Peacock ink to the stamps then spritzed with a waterbased shimmer spray (Water+ Frost White All Purpose Ink) before stamping onto the Shimmery White cardstock.
I used the sponge dauber to blend Pretty Peacock ink on to the large label from Tasteful Labels die set and then Coastal Cabana ink to sponge around the banner. I stamped my sentiments in Pretty Peacock ink.
I applied Gray Granite ink onto the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and then ran it through my die cutter.
I distressed the layers for the front of my card with scissors then used Stampin' Seal + to adhere my card layers to my 4 1/4 x 11 Pretty Peacock cardstock card base. I adhered some Pool Party Seam Binding with the Seal + and then tied the ribbon around the label die cut like a present and made a bow. I popped my sentiment banner up on Dimensionals.
I used the dark Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blend marker to color my pearls.
The card is very shimmery in real life!
