SWAK!

Embossing a stamped design can add texture, dimension, shine --- and if you use Top Boss' Opalescent Clear Embossing Powder --- an irridescent shimmer too!

I thought the "lip" designs on a set of stamps from My Sentiments Exactly would look great with a touch of "lip gloss", so the Opalescent Clear Embossing Powder seemed a perfect choice for this card...



Here is a closeup view of the "glossed-up" lips...





And this view REALLY shows the shimmer you get using the Opalescent Clear Embossing Powder...



The whole card was stamped in layers and embossed, even the sentiment...
