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.
