The challenge is to CASE the card you see below which was designed by Design Team member Karen.
That's my card on top, in case you didn't know. :) As soon as I saw Karen's card I recognized the stencil that she used. As luck would have it I also own that stencil so I thought it would be a good idea to use it. I didn't want to create a card that was a near copy of Karen's so I embossed the stencil with my new pearlescent embossing paste instead of sponging it like Karen did then die cut the sentiment in black and green to carry on the colors. I think it's hard to see in the photo but the black die cuts are slightly off from the green one so that you can just see a hint of color.
Here's a bit of a close up of the pearlescent embossing paste. It's really pretty in real life! I think is a better pic of the sentiment too. And you can probably see that I went over the black die cut with my clear Wink of Stella to give it a little shimmer.
Thanks for stopping by today and special thanks to the ladies at Time Out Challenges for inviting me to play along with them!
