Good morning! This week for Creative Inspiration Paints we were given a sketch to create a card! I am really happy with my results, I did stay pretty close to the sketch, but really was enjoying playing with the paints! I LOVE THEM!!
I also used this paint brush I found in with my painting supplies to paint the edges of the paper. I love the result, it actually looks as though the shimmer was right in with the ink!
My mission this year is to get a stock pile of cards, so I have been trying to make a few cards at once. So I have a few others I also created with this sketch.
Check the CI Paints blog for all the other wonderful creations!

My Card:
The top left flower is just a regular Prima Fleure not painted with CI paints next to ones I painted with "Fairy Dust".
I also used this paint brush I found in with my painting supplies to paint the edges of the paper. I love the result, it actually looks as though the shimmer was right in with the ink!
I also used the brush to paint on "Chocolate" paint on the pieces of paper I used to cut the "Doily Lace" punch with. So the strips are also shimmery!
Stamps: "Priceless" SU Stamp Set for the flourishes
Ink: ColorBox Fluid Chalk "Chestnut Brown"
Paper: K&Company "Roam"
Misc: Prima Fleures "Nursery Tales Collection", SH Rhinestone Brads "Fire Circle" Pumpkin, Martha Stewart Punch "Doily Lace
My mission this year is to get a stock pile of cards, so I have been trying to make a few cards at once. So I have a few others I also created with this sketch.
I just love all the shimmer!! Ithink it adds so much to the flowers, rather than them being just plain!

Those are amazingly beautiful cards that you have made. Cute Idea for the baby cards too!
Very pretty! Great use of the paints to add shimmer to the edges. Love your custom shimmer Primas!
I love the fan brush idea! I will have to try that.
Great colors, I love the flowers!
Love your cards- what great shimmer on the edge of the card- love that tip- will be trying that with a fan type brush. I also love the jewel brad in the center of the flower. TFS
I love the colors you used!!!
If you are interested, I have started a new challenge blog that I think you would enjoy. I would love it if you'd give it a try sometime.
