Something Different

Good Morning,  my card today is for the challenge at Papertake Weekly, which is to do Something Different, this can be anything that you have never done before or something you seldom do.  I have tried this technique before, but don't think I have ever posted the results, cos I am usually not very happy with the final result which ends up in the bin.  I went into my basket of backgrounds that have been sprayed, brayered or just been swooshed with wet dye inks.  I found these two pieces that I did with Cosmic Shimmer Mists a good while ago.  Then I did something else I have never done before, one the bigger piece I stamped  feathers around the edges using a Clarity stamp and Momento Black ink and embossed with clear ep.  I used the co-ordinating text stamp from Clarity on the smaller piece and stamped and embossed that.  I matted each piece onto some scrap black card and mounted onto silver mirror board, both from my stash.  I had real problems with the backing paper, I couldn't find a piece amongst all the thousands that I have got, either in hard copy or digital, to find a piece to co-ordinate properly - they were either all too purple to too blue.  I ended up with this piece from Cuddly Buddly as a last resort.  I did try and put a couple of feathers to back the topper, but I got glue everywhere and gave up, the gems are from my stash

I hope you like my card and thanks once again for visiting.
