JUGs Colour ChallengeIt's been a long time since I've entered a challenge at Just Us Girls. I loved the neutral colour combo for this week so was keen to see what I could come up with.
Here's the picture for inspiration. I used the SU colours of Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.

I have been making a few Scallop Circle Easel Cards lately but decided to add a bit of interest by trying out the Faux Mother of Pearl Technique. Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint was used as the base for the background.
Project Recipe:
Stamp Set: Just Believe
Ink: Black Staz-On, Basic Black and Crumb Cake
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Basic Black
Accessories: Scallop Circle Die, Paper Piercing Tool, Mat Pack, Basic Pearls, Stamping Sponge, Dimensionals, Big Shot
Faux Mother of Pearl Technique -
1. Place a small amount of Shimmer Paint onto a plastic plate.
2. Scrunch up a 'ball' of plastic wrap and dip it into the paint.
3. Dab it over the cardstock and leave it to dry.
4. Sponge desired colour over the top (Crumb Cake in this sample) and buff any extra ink off the shimmer paint with a cloth.
5. Stamp your image over the top with Black Staz-On.
This is the first time I've tried this technique and you can find a tutorial in the Resource Section of Splitcoaststampers. I'm keen to give it another go using some pastel colours.
PS: A big thank you to JUGs for awarding me Chic of the Week!
