Cosmic Shimmer Polish


Today's card comes from playing with my new paints.  I got 4 jars of Cosmic Shimmer paint.  Painted each on white cardstock (left) & black cardstock (right) - before embossing with Spellbinder's 3D embossing folders:


This first one is Raspberry Sorbet Luster Polish - embossed with "Celtic Weave" 


Next up is Pink Thistle Opal Polish - embossed with "Cane Weave". Because of the luster on these, it's not always easy to see the same color as you would in real life, but it's close!  The one on the left is sort of lavender & the one on the right is more towards salmon.


Next is Golden Glow Opal Polish - embossed with "European Tapestry"


And finally - my favorite - Lavender Blue Opal Polish - embossed with Mediterranean Medallion.  The one on white appears to be more aqua in real life with a lavender sheen.  

These are GORGEOUS - and a great way to apply color to a shaped card made from white card stock!  

So far I've only used the Raspberry Sorbet on white card stock in an actual card.  You see the card front at the top (with Silver Tag Board frames (Crafti Potential die from "Stitched Rectangles Dots & Stars" - Spellbinder die "Happy Holidays" for focal sentiment using same tag board).  Here's the inside:


Stamps are from JustRite ("Antique Christmas Tags One" & "Christmas Vintage Labels One") - heat embossed in silver (Hero Arts).
