At Convention, Vanessa Webb showed us some great techniques with Shimmer Paint.  This one really caught my eye and I couldn’t wait to duplicate it!  I showed this to my Stamping Stars Team at our team meeting in June.

Here is a closer look at the Faux Mother of Pearl background:

To get this look, I used Glossy Cardstock, and Frost White Shimmer Paint.  I used a wadded up piece of cling wrap and sponged the shimmer paint around the background.  When it was dry, I brayered some Blushing Bride ink over it and the shimmer paint resisted the ink.  I think it’s just beautiful.  I then stamped the Elements of Style images in Staz On over the background and used a Regal Rose and Old Olive marker to colour in the flowers.
