You Are Amazing Card

Hello all!  I recently was gifted a $100 certificate to My Favorite Things, which was amazingly generous of them!  I was able to purchase several of their wonderful products and they arrived today.  I couldn't wait to get creating, so I decided to jump into their challenges (Sketch 576 and Color Challenge 181) with both feet using some of the new products.  Here is what I created.

The stamp set I used was MFT All About You and the die cut is by the same name.  I die cut the "you" first, then stamped it so make sure it was centered well.  The "are amazing" was embossed with clear embossing powder.  The background was created by ink blending Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple Distress Oxides, then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder on those areas, making a fun shiny texture.  I splattered with black acrylic paint, then die cut with a GMD stitched rectangle die.  The gray was cut with a GMD Eyelet Elegance die.  To embellish, I added a few black pearl pen dots.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
