Hello my crafty friends! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I started theses set of cards the other day. And finished them this morning. So I’m posting these cards and the technique on how I did the cards.

Thankful Cards
In this batch I was able to make 3 cards. Out of all the distress Mica stain I spray on my watercolor paper. As you can see each background came out different. Which I love it because each one is unique. The shimmer of theses Mica stain are beautiful.
I vision how I wanted these cards to look like and how they would be once I applied the distress mica stains on the watercolor paper that I embossed.
I took the simon says stamp 3D fall leaf Embossing folder and Strathmore mixed media paper vellum surface and run it threw my vagabond 2 machine.
Then pick my colors I wanted to spray with. They are Distress Mica stains by Tim Holtz colors are Flickering candle, Jack-O-Lantern, Cocktail Party, Harvest Moon, Wicked Elixir and Crooked Broomstick. Then I spray some water to move the colors around a little and took my heat gun and dry.
I also used Simon Says stamp die called Thankful, cut it out of Tim Holtz metallic jewels kraft-stock. And used 110 white card for base of the cards. The frames I used are by My Favorite Things die.

I wanted these cards to be different, but yet look elegant. I’m please they all came out different and they all look beautiful. If you like please let me know and give me a comment on what you think. Thank you for checking out my website. Have a wonderful day.
