Paste Paper Card #1

It's been ages since I put anything on my blog, probably because it's been ages since I made anything. So in honour of the recently passed World Cardmaking Day, I thought I'd show what I finally created.
This card was inspired by a stack of Paste Paper I made two years ago and needed to either chuck it or do something with it. The paper was interesting but the finish was dull. Nicole from Nika's Paper Arts showed me how I could add WOW to the paper, and it turned out amazing. I covered it with embossing ink and put Judikins Iridescent powder on it, then Nicole suggested using Diamond Glaze on top,but I added more embossing ink and Utee. There was no way I could get a photo to show the depth and sparkle of the finished product. It is stunning IRL.

To make this card I used all Simon Says Stamp dies:
Bundle of Stitched Shapes
Painted Hugs
Circle of Leaves

Here's a sample of the paste papers before they get the layers of embossing powders. They are interesting, but lack the "wow" factor.
