Today I have a card that makes use of a couple new items. The anniversary sentiment was done with a new die from Kat Scrappiness using black and a bit of SSS pre-embossed woodgrain white cardstock. The embossed panel was done with a new Memory Box Open Studio "Blooming" embossing folder. I used a piece of shimmery, sparkly cardstock from an old paper pad but I love how it turned out.
Here's a close-up, and if you click the photo, you can see the embedded glitter in the paper. It really has a beautiful sparkle but it's hard for the camera to capture that feature. I added 2 heart-shaped gems for the finishing touch and that's all this card needed.
I'm sharing this with these challenges:
Let's Squash It!! Challenge #10 - Shimmer and Shine
