Theme Thursday - Spring!

This card was created using the Dabbed Shimmers technique from the Feb/Mar '10 issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter. There are certain techniques that are almost impossible to capture the beauty of in a scan - especially shimmery backgrounds like this. I'm so glad I thought to pull it out and photograph it and submit it for the Theme Thursday challenge. You can really see how shimmery that background is. Such a fun technique!

All of the stamps are from the Birds of a Feather collection from Artistic Outpost. This is a fantastic set for creating Springtime art!

  3. Lovely card, Shelly. I like it almost as much as I liked it when I saw it on the Technique Junkies website. You make nice backgrounds.

    Have you seen the triptych my sister made with this set?
