Another Ready Made Background Piece!


Hello sweet friends.  Today I have another card made with another of my backgrounds I had in a drawer.  This time I just heat embossed over it with a background stamp and silver embossing powder, added a silver foil layer, a black die-cut sentiment and a few sequins and enamel accents.  Unfortunately, the photos don't show the shimmer and shine from the shimmer mist I had used, but it is what it is.  Job done!  Here are the rest of the photos.




 I do hope your weekend is going beautifully and that the rest of the weekend does too.  We actually have some sunshine here today!  I do love the sunshine and we are certainly due some!

Thank you so much for sharing some of your time with me today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know! If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
