Here is a card I cased from Bev Watt, go check her blog she is a demo in Aussie.

 This was a Make 'n' Take at a recent workshop, I the ladies had a choice of making it a Christmas or Birthday Card.

With this card I added Shimmer paint directly to the stamp.

We used Marina Mist, it is one of the brand new colours in the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue, it is stunning teamed with Whisper White.

To finish the cards we popped a Pearl in the centre of the flowers.

Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't blogged for a few day.

I have been very busy in my garden this week, with the help of my Dad we have planted tomatoes, cabbage green and red, cauliflower, broccoli, 2 varieties of lettuce, spring onions, strawberries and potatoes.

Thanks Dad for all your help.

So I haven't got any crafting done, with gardening and the Commonwealth Games on tv.

I haven't watched the games tonight and have been working on a birthday card for my Mother In Law, her birthday is next Friday.

After seeing the challenge at 'Just Add Ink' this week, I thought I would use Pink for the card.

JUST ADD BLING ... and PINK!

I don't like a lot of pinks (soft pinks especially) but I do like Melon Mambo so I have used that.

And after talking to Jennie my downline tonight about Shimmer Paints, I knew what I was going to do.

I have used the Floating Watercolour Technique using Watercolour Paper, Re-Inkers mixed with Frost White Shimmer Paint and Aqua Painters.

I sponged the Ink mixed with Shimmer Paint directly onto the stamp, it gives it a beautiful shimmer.

I decided less was more and added only 1 Rhinestone, for the dot on the I in birthday.

Supplies List

Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral and Perfect Punches.

Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Watercolour Paper.
