Illuminate!!

 
I made this card on my recent weekend retreat.  I am so glad I packed this ink pad "Illuminate"  in the Holiday catalog.  This ink pad is similar to versamark, but with major shimmer!
I stamped directly on the Early Expresso Core'dinations card stock 12 sheets of 12X12 paper per package.  I stamped using Snowflake Soiree in Marina Mist and then over stamped with the Illuminate ink.
 I used the Blue to pull out the blue in the Designer Paper from the Festival of Prints Designer paper stack.  You will see other patterns from this stack in upcoming projects. 
I used the Ornament punch and punched the entire ornament from the patterned paper.  I punched the edge of the Champange Glimmer paper with the scallop trim border punch.  I then punched again with the ornament punch only this time only half way to create the topper effect.  Tied a scrap of Early Express tulle and popped up on a doily from the Perfect Pennants die.  Sentiment is from the "Greetings of the Season" Clear stamp set. 
I love the natural feel of the color combo and all the shimmer.
