I really wish that the scanner wouldn't take so much beauty from this card. It is absolutely gorgeous in real life. The shimmer of the iridescent ice is stunning. I think I have used this set once. Now that it is retiring, I will use it all the time. LOL I stamped the background piece with canvas, then embossed it with the cuttlebug embossing folder. I think it looks cool. Then I stamped the flower in black, filled it in with almost amethyst. I covered the image with versa mark and then iridescent ice and heated it. Man it really shines. I put the card together and then realized that I once again forgot the greeting. So I stamped the thinking of you on top of the embossed image. It kinda worked but it wasn't as dark as it should have been so I went over it with a black marker and you can't even tell.

I love it...and will imagine the prettiness that the scanner sucked out!
I really loved this set though I never bought it. Too bad it's retiring!
This is so gorgeous - what a shame the scanner doesn't show up the sparkles. In any case it looks great even without that showing!! TFS
Wow. This is so pretty. This is one color that I rarely use on a card. I should try it as I love this one.
