Several weeks ago I bought some Mini Mister bottles (tiny spray bottles), planning to fill them with rubbing alcohol mixed with (10 drops of) Stampin' Up!'s Frost White Shimmer Paint. My plan had not been put into action until I sat down to make this card, and I am so glad I finally got around to making up my own spritz - it's gorgeous. Anything that doesn't move is now likely to get this treatment! Can you see how I've spritzed the main Crumb Cake panel, after stamping and colouring the cakes? Stampin' Up!'s Shimmery White cardstock complements the sparkle.
I love to use faux stitching on my cards - poking holes with my fab-o Paper Piercing Tool and Mat Pack, and using a fine-tip marker to join them up to look like stitches. Ordinarily I 'stitch' in straight lines only, but was inspired by the gorgeous and talented Renee Van Stralen to incorporate a bit of cross-stitch on this card. What do you think? I love it!
