Playing with Embossing Paste - Take 2

Before I show you my card I would like to let you know that I will take a blogging and commenting break to spend some time with my family in Germany.

In my last post I promised to show you the card I made with a stenciled panel that didn't buckle because I used heavy Stampin' Up card stock. Julia inspired me to use colored cardstock. This time I also added some sparkle to the embossing paste. (Can't tell you right now what it was I added because I am not at home while I type this...) You can see it in the close up, although it didn't sparkle as much as I hoped for. This card looks very different from my last one...






Stamps: Altenew (flower, leaves), Uniko (sentiment)
Other: Memory Box (stencil)


Here is a close up to show you the sparkle in the embossing paste.

Aus Dir sprudeln die Ideen ja nur so heraus. Auch diese Karte ist wieder eine Augenweide, tolle Effekt das leichte Glitzern. Ich besitze gar keine Strukturpaste ... sollte ich wohl mal ändern!!!
LG Gundi

Ein toller Effekt mit der glitzernden Strukturpaste!
Die einzelne Blüte kommt darauf sehr schön zur Geltung.
Ich wünsche dir eine schöne Zeit mit deiner Familie und eine gute Reise ✈

This is my new favorite card of the entire year anywhere in Blogland, Susanne! It is so unusual and so, so cool! Julia was right about using the colored card, too! Just brilliant in every way!! Hugs, Darnell

Your design with the embossing paste looks amazing! The shine is so pretty. You've even used my favorite flower stamp! Absolutely brilliant card! Thanks for joining us at TIME OUT and enjoy your holidays in Germany!

Encore une autre merveille avec cette nouvelle carte, Susanne ! Je devrais penser à utiliser plus souvent la pâte à embosser, et qui plus est sur du papier de couleur ! J'ai l'impression de survoler un champ de blé et de voir tous les sillons laissés par la machine ! Splendide aussi cette fleur ! Vraiment un magnifique ensemble ! Bonnes vacances en Allemagne et profites en bien ! Bises
