Less Is More #330
I made a card quite a while ago using this technique called Pearlized Stamp Layering from Jennifer McGuire. It's been sitting on my desk just waiting for a challenge and it's finally here. Less Is More wants shimmer and shimmer they're going to get.
You need a layering stamp for this technique and I used Beautiful Day from Altenew. For directions and video on how to get this shimmery effect, click on the link above. I cut the panel with a curved die, mounted it on Soft Stone and curved the sentiment from Penny Black along the edge. You know how it it with photographing shimmer. It's difficult to get it to show but take it from me, the lighter portions of the card have a beautiful pearly shine.
We My husband weeded the no-flower flower beds yesterday and today we will bring in some mulch. Except for my lovely Columbine on one side of the house and the hydrangea I got from my parent's house before it sold, I have trouble getting anything to grow. I've resorted to mulch and a few pots and hope they will look okay with my garden items - several old plows, an old yellow wheelbarrow, a vintage push mower and a few other rustic pieces. Yes, as my granddaughter says "Gramby loves old metal".
Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by.

Gorgeous card! I love that lush purple and shimmer, and the elegant curve of the sentiment. Really fabulous effect and very stylish! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)
I really must have a go with this technique, Bobby, as it looks gorgeous! Love the shimmer against the rich purple and it gives another look to those versatile Altenew stamps. Great to see you at Less is More :)
I love this gorgeous card. With my mom moving in with us, we have lots of gorgeous pots because she has the patience to water!

You've got a great shimmer on your card Bobby and was worth saving for just this occasion. Great minds think alike , eh?

Great card, I love the curved edge! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More Challenge! Pssst. this would work well for the current Time Out too!
Bobby I've come to count on you to share the very best of Jennifer McG! This is really stunning, and yes, I do believe it is even more beautiful irl! I can't imagine it prettier in any other color than this gorgeous purple...

Love all the shimmer and this fantastic layout! You'll have to post a picture of your garden. Pots work best here. That red clay is so hard to plant in.
