One-Layer Wednesday 43: Shimmer, Not Glitter or Bling

This week's One-Layer Wednesday Challenge is to use SHIMMER, but NOT glitter or bling on your card. There are lots of ways to add shimmer: Sakura Stardust pens, Twinkling H2Os, pigment powders, Brilliance iridescent inks, eye shadow, shimmery cardstock, shimmery ribbon, and others I can't think of.

For my card, I used Twinkling H2Os to stamp the silhouette from Clear and Simple Stamps. First, I added water to the paint pot and got a nice, rich, thick paint mixed up. Then, using a bit of sponge, I dabbed the paint onto the stamp, and stamped it directly onto the paper. The result is a rich, shimmery color with a lovely unevenness (blotchy, but in a good way!).

Here's a close-up, but I'm not sure the shimmer comes through in the photo quite as well as in real life.

Now it's YOUR turn. Commit a little shimmer this week!
