Hello Friends,
I'm not sure which is my favorite thing about my card today. I fell in love with the wine themed stamp sets that Sparkle N Sprinkle released not too long ago. I couldn't wait for my chance to create with them. However, when I used the Silver Pearl (EP391) embossing powder to create the background, I found a new favorite. The look is amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect at first. The powder in the jar looked white, and I thought... hmmmm...Is this just a fancy name for white? No Sparkle N Sprinkle fans, this is one of those really special powders whose name is the perfect fit. You have to believe me when I say this is a beautiful
silvery white combination, so rich and elegant looking too :)
The large Chianti bottle stamp was gorgeous on its own, so I embossed that as well using the color Bullfrog (EP404), and finishing it by coloring the bunch of grapes with a couple of Copic markers. I also made sure to adhere everything together using 1/4" Tear-iffic Tape (SAT01). If you've used it, you know how great it is! If not, once you try it, you'll be hooked! I've never had anything hold together better.
