Shiny Hi

Hello!  I made a couple cards this weekend inspired by the September Waffle Flower Challenge.  What inspired me about this months challenge are the colors, the tea cup, flowers and the shiny word.   I stamped and embossed the tea cups and flowers on water color card stock.  I than applied Distress ink that I had smooshed on my craft sheet and spritzed with water and perfect pearls.  I used a technique recently shared by Jennifer McGuire to apply the color using my fingers.  The perfect pearls added a really pretty shimmer to the card.  While my water color piece was drying I die cut the "Hi" three times, adhered the cutouts together to make the letters thicker and raised than added 3 layers of embossing powder to them.  I adhered the "Hi" to a die cut circle before adhering it to the watercolored background, that way I could hide the adhesive behind the letters since it shows through velum.  I am also entering this in the 2017 Catalog Challenge.

Stamps used: Waffle Flower sets "Warm Wishes" and "Faye"

Dies: Waffle Flower "Jumbo Letter HI Die Set" and "Flower Circles Die Set"
