1001 CARTES ON AIR – Iridescent watercolor background

Hi! Today, I’m back with a new card and video tutorial featuring the Create A Smile stamp sets called Botanical Love and Ausflippen (German sentiment set).

In this video, I want to share another way to create a self-made background using silver embossing powder instead of the black or white we usually choose. I also used Distress inks combined with iridescent watercolors to create a metallic and shiny look. Here is my card: 

Sadly, the pictures don’t do justice to the card! In real life, the background is vibrant and shiny!

You can see how I did my card in the video below!
