Welcome back for the last day of Dreampendous Blog Hop! All this week Dreamweavers and Stampendous have been teaming up to bring you tons of gorgeous projects!
Today I'm sharing a card that I created working using Dreamweavers Mosaic Swirl LJ901 and a soon to be released Stampendous Jumbo Cottage Rose CRS5034.
This was my first time playing with Embossing Paste and stencils and it is FUN! After stenciling on the Pearlescent Embossing Paste, I sprinkled some Stampendous UltraFine glitter on the wet paste. The sparkle this creates is amazing! LOVE the effect!!!
To create a watercolored effect on the roses, I stamped them in Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx in Black. These are nice juicy inks and stay wet on your paper longer. After stamping on pink cardstock and while the inks were still wet, I took a damp paintbrush and pulled some of the black ink down into my rose petals. This gave it a watercolored effect.
To tie in with this months Stampendous theme of RECYCLE, I added some gift wrapping silver ribbon to the card.

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the pearlescent swirls on the black and the cottage rose is perfect!
I definitely have to add the cottage rose stamp to my collection – it's perfect against the swirl stencil background. And the glitter is just the right amount of bling!
Wnedy you card is gorgeous! The ribbon and the rose look fantastic over the mosaic. I'm going to try the glitter over the pearl paste.
How spectacular!! WOW, that mosaic background is fabulous...such a beautiful card!
