NBUS #6, HLS CAS (faux Mother of Pearl) and SSS Wednesday (Touchy Feely)

Well, this one started out as a card for Darnell's NBUS challenge, as I have quite a few things to work through.  It seems to me that I buy because I "need it" but then I reach for my usual standbys so I'm trying to rectify that with help from Darnell!

The original panel was made using Loll's video for faux Mother of Pearl.  I used Distress Inks to blend over pearlized white paint.  The panel was then cut with a NBUS die, leaves rolled up a bit, embellies added, layered over foiled cs and colored cs, then mounted on the panel.  I then stamped the sentiment.

Though it's hard to see the foiled cs, hopefully you'll get a glimmer here.  I really like the two colors I used together, they just seem rich.  Oh yah, I splattered a few water droplets too!

CS:  Neenah 80#, PTI Plum Pudding, DCWV Foiled silver

Ink:  DI Faded Jeans, Dusty Concord, HA Grape Juice

Die: SSS Partial Flower Die-cut

MS embellies

I'm hoping my card works for the SSS "Touchy Feely" but since it has textural layers, I'm gonna try  :oP  Also, may have too many layers for HLS, but I gotta learn right?

Thanks for joining me today, good to be able to get a card out on the blog again!
