3 Cards featuring the Olivia papers

I used the beautiful ink colors of Cocoa and Smoothie along with the Olivia paper pack. They are rich in color and especially nice for Fall pictures. The shimmer brads were used for a perfect accent. I used a Technique called Stipple Sandpaper and another one where you sand after stamping and then stamp another image in that space or just sand to give it a highlighted area. With the papers having a white core you get a beautiful highlight. The technique I mentioned first called Stipple Sandpaper is done like this. You take a small piece of course sandpaper. Wrap it around your finger and dab it into a ink pad. Then dab the edge of your paper. In my cards I did this technique on each of the colonial white card stock pieces. It gives a subtle dotted look. Remember you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. I hope you enjoy these 3 cards.
