Altenew Magic

I'll be the first to admit that I am just a little bit addicted to Altenew stamps. As I mentioned in yesterday's post they are very versatile and offer a lot to your imagination. When stamped in the layered option they are gorgeous but I am always trying to think outside the box and in today's card I did. 

Instead of using all the layers I decided to just use one of them and the effect is gorgeous. I used a silver pearl translucent embossing powder to emboss with. I love using this one because it doesn't distract from the background but in certain light and angles it really pops. This is the "Beautiful Day" stamp set. I embossed the sentiment in a gold powder.

For the background I used the same technique as yesterday's post which can be found here:

Hope you've had a awesome Monday and stay tuned for another alcohol ink card I made this past weekend.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. 

My project today was inspired by Shari over at the Simon Says stamp blog (see link below). I took her post and added that masculine touch to it using Graphic 45's "A proper gentleman" collection.  I love how all these fabulous patterns work together to create something fluid. 

Thank you Shari for the inspiration for my Fathers Day card. 

Enjoy!
