Timeless Elegance
For today's video tutorial, I'm going to make these super cool "WOW" cards. Featuring the Stampin Up Timeless Elegance Designer Paper, and a quick and easy colorizing technique. This in itself is a wow, but of course I can't end it there. Had to take it one step further and turn the entire designer paper layer into Glimmer Paper with Iridescent Ice glitter. I used a "Thank you" stamp from the One Big Meaning stamp set, but you could easily make this a wedding / anniversary, congratulations or sympathy card simply by changing the words. It's a great card to make a bunch of to have on hand.
