| I was trying to show the glittery Bridal Tinsel in this image... didn't really succeed. FYI, it's that iridescent sparkle that yields pinks, greens, blues. |
Supplies:
- Strathmore watercolor paper written on with a Letter It marker then heat embossed with Bridal Tinsel EP from the Letter It pack
- Dipped in an inked-up mat with all the blue DOx plus lots of water
- The knot stamp was from a nautical-themed set from Michael's my BFF used for her wedding in 2016-- Uh-oh, I guess I need to send it to her! I heat embossed it with Gold Tinsel from the Letter It pack.
- I also heat embossed the edge with the Gold Tinsel EP.
That's it. Pretty cute, right?
I just want to add a few notes about the Letter It products I own: While the pens work super-well for heat embossing and for use with Perfect Pearls, I think I prefer my Zig Emboss Writer for heat embossing because it goes on blue so you can see what you've written/drawn. The embossing powder colors I bought are the Copper, Bridal, Gold, and Silver Tinsels and they are BEAUTIFUL. Totally worth the money just to get this beautiful little set. In case it matters you to, though, they do end up rough after heating due to the glitter, and the Bridal Tinsel is more iridescent than just white. Use the Michael's coupon-- I felt like full price was steep.

Love the creativity displayed with this card! The lettering is wonderful as is the watercolor background. Using a knot for an anniversary card is brilliant. Definitely ties up the nautical theme, LOL.... Thanks so much for sharing and playing along with Retro Rubber.
