Today’s Thank You card is part of Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Blog Highlights. The theme is “Thank You,” something that we may often forget to express to others. The top ten participants with the most votes will participate in an International Blog Hop at the end of the month! If you would consider taking a moment and vote for my card, I would greatly appreciate. My card is # 6.
I used the Faux Porcelain technique for the background of my Thank You card. I love this technique because not only is it easy, but it adds a beautiful porcelain-like finish to the design of the card. To create the Faux Porcelain finish, I used the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder with Pearlescent Specialty Paper. I have listed a link to a previous video I had done demonstrating the Faux Porcelain Technique. I stamped the images on Shimmery White, colored with Stampin’ Blends and die cut. To add some “bling,” I die cut the branch of leaves from the Shaded Spruce Textured Shimmer Paper. I embellished the card front with the Evening Evergreen 2021 -2023 In Color Opal Rounds.
