Striking Wings

Hello everyone,

Today's post is a wonderful shimmery birthday card.

The card base is The Paper Studio.  The image is The Stamp Barn stamped on Recollections Vanilla with Tsukineko Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate, Pearlescent Crimson and Pearlescent Rust.  The image is layered on a shimmery copper and a shimmery brown of unknown origin.  The sentiment is Altenew Birthday Builder stamped in Stampin' Up Early Espresso.

This was a great stamp for blending inks.  The Tsukineko inks that I have are the cat's eye spots which are the perfect shape and size for this technique.  Overall, it's a pretty simple image in a good size.  I debated adding some embellishments but it didn't really need them in the end.  I absolutely love the results.  Everything works so well from the card base, to the ink colours, to the layers.  Would that every card come together so easily.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
