Welcome
Time for some more fun at
We have a fun month coming up with a great 'Sparkle' theme as we celebrate our 2nd Birthday.
There are prizes to be won so please come and play along with us.
To celebrate, someone will win a $20 Gift card, a Guest Spot and there are also stamps and stencil to won as well.
So onto my card details.
A few weeks ago, I came across a technique called Serendipity.
Basically you take a piece of cardstock as the base and all your left over inked pieces, which in my case are a lot!! Next, you tear your leftovers into pretty small pieces and glue them onto your basec being sure to overlap and mix them up.
When you base is totally covered with little scraps of papers, let it dry and then rub over it with a anti-static bag. You stamp onto it and emboss with any colour you want. I chose to use my Script stamp from Penny Black and embossed with a shiny silver to help give lots of detail and sparkle.

I cut my base into strips and mounted them behind the framed flower. I saved a bit of my leftover paper to add as the matching flower head and added a clear shiny gem to the center.
I wove a piece of silver ribbon to help give my card more sparkle.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Hope you will come and play along with us.

So I was fascinated by the weaving of the silver ribbon and decided to take a closer look. That's when I discovered this interesting technique about tearing up your scraps, glueing them on some cardstock, and embossing it! What an awesome effect! I'll have to try that!
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful, Karen.Love all the details and colors and what a technique! I've never heard of that technique, going to have to try it! Glad you played with us at 4 Crafty Chicks this week!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I'm always amazed at the beauty of your backgrounds and this card is a perfect example of your awesome technique.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, so very beautiful.
Wonderful card, teammate.
