The current challenge at CASology is "Shimmer." It was a chance to pull out Altenew's "Needlework Motif" in my ongoing determination to use stamps that have seen little love or have never been used.
I also pulled out a piece of shimmery bronze cardstock for the card base. The gorgeous design was stamped in black on white cardstock and watercolored with beautiful shimmery metallic paints that I acquired many years ago during a class at a new defunct stamp store here. The paints were hand-labeled and I have no memory of who the manufacturer might have been. I used just two colors: gold and bronze.
Here's a closer look, although the shimmer of the cardstock and paints are much more beautiful IRL.
I've been away from the craft room for a few days, and it's good to be back!
