Letterpressed Background

Good Morning All
I watched a video Sue Wilson made on Tuesday 10th November HERE, using Mica Powders to Letterpress. I thought I would give it  a try on black card, as the Micas I have are all  pastel colours.


 I love how it turned out.  I used afew different colours as shown here.
Below is the card I made with it, using a 6 x 6 scalloped card blank and Sue Wilson Ornate Ovals as the sentiment.
I did have to use afew butterflies to hide my messy heat embossing.
I coloured this too with Mica powders, used as paint.
The shimmer doesn't show up too good on the pics but looks great in real life.

    Hi Wendy
    What a dramtic effect, like a stormy sky but then muted by the lovely flowers.
    I always get confused about which side of the embossing folder to ink up lol!
