Grab Some Glitterati!

I love bright colors, and the Glitterati papers are full of them! Today, I decided to play with a new technique I learned and use the Glitterati paper too!

First, I stamped the Memory Box Swish Flower {D698} onto white cardstock using VersaMark and then embossing in clear embossing powder.  This allows you to wet the paper and using your inks, you can get a watercolor effect.  Mine didn't turn out quite that great but instead of trashing them, I decided to use them!  Watch how they go from a runny mess to "not so bad" on the finished card.  Also, in the photo below, you can see how I stamped the Open Poppy {F703} in VersaMark and embossed also. I did not end up using it for this card but I will save it for a future creation. :)

After letting my paper dry overnight, I cut out my flowers.  I then grabbed a piece of chipboard and cut off the end. It was too long for the card thus I cut off a piece. I saved the smaller piece to use later on a future card or layout.
 
Then I covered the chipboard in Glitterati paper, sanded the edges, and added a bit of ink.  My flowers still look rather messy but I then dressed them up with Memory Box pearl stickers in hot pink! I love these pearl stickers because you can use the entire strip or just use one or two at a time--whatever your creation needs!
 
Didn't the pearls dress up my messy flowers? They are starting to look a bit better now!  Glad I didn't trash them!  :)  And here you can see my finished card:

Thanks for sharing Patter! I appreciate that you shared that your creation in the beginning was less than perfect (I've been having my share of those lately and my stash of "goofs" is growing!) Your finished card is so cute. Love the bright colors and the pearls really are a nice added detail on the flowers.
