Custom Mica Powder Color
This design is all about bringing vintage charm to life. The Unity Stamp Company Emotions Unfolded stamp set takes center stage with its gorgeous hydrangea and butterfly image. I added pops of shimmer using custom blended Mica Powders in Emerald and Mermaid Tail – just look at that butterfly shine! The torn paper edges and ink smooshed background bring that perfect vintage, distressed vibe, and I couldn’t love it more!
Why this card is so fun to make:
- Mix Your Own Shimmer: Create your own custom colors by blending Mica Powders! Emerald and Mermaid Tail come together like magic. Adding in a little liquid glue will ensure those shimmery colors do not rub off.
- Ink Smooshing Fun: Get messy with Distress Oxides and watercolor paper—this technique makes watercoloring a breeze!
- Vintage Vibes for Days: Torn paper, distressed edges, and layered textures give this card a perfectly aged, timeless look.
- Stunning Stamps: The Emotions Unfolded stamp set is so versatile—this floral and butterfly combo is perfect for any heartfelt message.
