Inspirational Card Sketches #25 & 365 Cards Day 140 Paint It


This fabulous stamp arrived this morning with a shipment I just bought on eBay. I was thrilled when I saw it! The idea of clear embossing onto a dark background sprang to mind immediately. I painted randomly over the image with a mixture made from Perfect Pearls and sprinkled a little additional dry powder over the top.
The paper is the Wild Asparagus range from My Mind's eye. I just love it. This particular piece is double sided and it was a difficult choice which side to use, as either would have been appropriate.
The sentiment is from Unity Stamps.
