Hello! I am bringing you a card today using the Simon Says Stamp Big Thanks Autumn stamp set from the November Card Kit. I hadn’t had a chance to use this set yet so I was ready to knock a couple cards out! I really loved this design. I knew I wanted to use shimmer powders so I grabbed some SSS Antique Gold embossing powder and some Tim Holtz Distress Water color and embossed this lovely image!
I reached for my Golden Sparkler Nuvo Shimmer powder and went to town spritzing and tapping the beautiful colors onto the paper. One thing I have been told is not to dry shimmer powders, just let them do their thing, so I promptly left it sit until it was dry.
I was shocked at how many different colors there was in this shimmer powder! Reds, Browns and blues. I really wanted to intensify the red since there was only a couple spots of it, so I grabbed a coordinating Zig Clean Clear Markers and added a splash of a red in a couple additional spots. I did the same with the steel blue color. After it dried, I cut it out and popped it up with some Big Mama Foam Tape. I stamped the image on some coordinating yellow cardstock in a light gray. I added the watered colored image, a sentiment from the Big Thanks Autumn Stamp Set and some gold stickles. While Fall is behind us, I loved this warm and cozy card!
The shimmer in these powders is off the charts!
