This is a bit of an experiment....so I'm not sure how this is going to turn out...pictures may appear in strange places.
This is my 3rd DT piece for "Creative Expressions"using the heartfelt bella rose stamps and dies. I stamped the rose and leaves onto black card with versamark and then dusted them with cosmic shimmer mica powders. I then fixed the powder by using cheap hairspray. I distressed the edges of my card with a thread cutter and then swiped a gold Krylon pen over the top of this to give a really distressed look. I also sprayed the stamped card with gold mica powder. I layered my card up with cream and green vellum and seam binding dyed using a bundled sage re-inker.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
"Birthday Sundaes must use green"
"Let's Ink it up - Show us your flowers"
"Allsorts Challenge - Say it with flowers"
"Raise the bar - going green"
"Aud Sentiment Callenge - Happy Birthday"
"CCEE Stampers - Flowers,flowers, flowers"
"Do you stack up - Go green"

Love the card. Liz ;)
Love all the leafy flourish details! A great card going green! Thanks for playing along with us at Raise the Bar!
Looks great - what a fabulous effect - I have used the hairspray for crayon in art but never thought to use it on mica! This makes a really impressive shimmery bit of goodness! Good luck in the LIIU Challenge this month.
A stunning card Sue. I love the effect of the mica powders.

OMG! I would love to receive this birthday card – it is so-o-o pretty! I have a feeling up close and personal this is even more striking than the photos show. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us for our “Happy Birthday” challenge at Aud Sentiments!!!
This is a beautiful vintage card, love the leafy flourishes, and the muted colours, a great effect with the mica too.
Amazing card. Love the techniques you used. Thank you for joining us at LIIU. Hugs, Velma DTM
