Hello! I just received the most amazing box of stamps courtesy of the wonderful guys from Hero Arts (check their publication incentive here!) and managed to find a little time to play around with some of the new goodies. My starting point was this week's Tuesday Trigger.
I grabbed my inspiration from the colors (green, gold and a dash of blue).
I love the modern feel of that woodgrain background! After stamping it, I heat embossed the banner and sentiment with gold embossing powder and finished with a strip of gold cardstock and a few scattered rhinestones colored with a navy Copic marker.
Don't know about you, but I'm never sure about the placement of scattered stuff in cards. Love when others do it, but I always feel I've placed them incorrectly. Rhinestones, sequins, you name it. Do you have any rule for this? If so, please share ;)
Thanks for visiting and have a fantastic day!

This is awesome Lorena!! That background stamp is perfect for this Trigger, and besides I love the abstract woodgrain anyway so I must have it!! Love the banner and touches of gold - pulls everything together so well!
