Project of the Day :: Banana Frog & Perfect Pearls

Hi

My project of the day this month is using Banana Frog stamps with Perfect Pearl powders. Stamps used are 'circles' from the 'its all about range' and 'Scribble Flowers'.
      

I stamped dark grey card with a 'circles' stamp and dusted it with several colours of Perfect Pearl powders. I feel that these powders work most effectively on a dark background as the colour is reflected back.  The irridescent powders look flat when viewed face on but when tilted to the light the colours 'pop' and sparkle beautifully - Lush!
I created the card by die cutting an aperture in the card blank with my Cuttlebug and a Nestability die.  I also die cut a white panel and a grey stamped panel.  These were layered onto the acetate that was mounted over the aperture.  I like playing around with the positive and negative space on a card design and here it appears that the central panels are suspended within the aperture.  To finish I had to add some flowers - of course!

 

Here is a detail shot of the tag - created using the corner panel of the 'circles' stamp set.  I've punched holes into some of the stamped circles and embellished with a bit of 'bling' (flat back gems and stickles)

Thanks for looking!
