Texture and Shimmer

 
Hello friends!  Vivian here today with a few cards to share. With these projects, I finally cracked open a 6 x 6 in. pad of beautiful papers from My Mind's Eye that I had been hoarding. As this collection has a nice, muted palette, I took the opportunity to play up my projects with some gorgeous texture using Champagne Netting and some beautiful Metallic Iridescent White String. 
 I find myself reaching for that string in a lot of my projects these days - such a delicate, unique, perfect finishing touch.
To create the pearl borders, I got to play with some new Pearl Pens from Viva Decor that I'm currently very excited about!  
 
For my second card, I paired the blue with some of the yellows and ochres in this collection for a bolder color combination.
I used my "Frame Back, Ornate" die from Sizzix, splitting the die cut shapes in half to create a pretty ombre effect.
The Metallic String Gold from the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop caught the yellows in my project and added just the right amount of shimmery punch.
Thanks for visiting with me here today!  Hope I inspired you to get crafty with some of these gorgeous fibers!
