shirley shirley bo birley: Mint Ombre Watercolor and Copper Embossed Card

In December, Greg stealthily planned a babymoon for me to go on, except instead of going with him, he arranged for me to go with my friend, Stephanie. We stayed at the Westin Kierland, which is right across the street from Scottsdale Quarter, so of course we did some kid-free shopping there.

I picked up the Hero Arts Starburst Lace rubber stamp while at the Paper Source at Scottsdale Quarter and used it on this card - watercolored background (lighter in the middle, darker on the edges), stamped with VersaMark, and heat embossed with bronze powder. I also added a strip of bronze cardstock behind the watercolored background because it was feeling a bit bare.
