Card in Silver and Blue


This is my card for this week's challenge at Craft CardMakers.  This challenge theme is punches and/or dies.

I used a stencil and modeling paste for the background of my card then splattered the background with Brusho.  The die cut leaves were run through an embossing folder and then painted with blue and silver paint.  To complete my card  I added some small gems and sequins after I arranged my card. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us this week at Crafty Cardmakers . Please pop over to our challenge blog to view all of the beautiful projects that the design team has created to inspire you.
