Thought You Knew!

I'm sharing my favourite new Spellbinders press plate today!  This is the 'Thought You Knew', which I purchased from The Papercrafter's Workshop.

I made two 5 1/2" square cards, using some ancient Lawn Fawn rainbow paper!  I pressed the plate onto some Prism Watercolour paper with Betterpress Black ink (a 3 1/4" square), then painted them in ombre fashion with Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers distress ink.

I used a fine paintbrush, and painted in the 'shadow' edges on each word, with the ink at full strength, and it really made the words pop!  Plus I used some glittery gold paint to paint in the heart.

I cut a slightly larger square of Brushed Gold Treasured cardstock from Spellbinders as a mat, and adhered it down to the card base, one of them on an angle.

The pressed images were adhered with 3D foam adhesive.  I've used two different floral stamp sets from The Greetery, Oopsie Daisy and Fleurs - both of which I had stamped and ready to go, to decorate my cards, and added a few iridescent pearls to one of them.
