Carrot Cake and Silver Foil Smooch Spritz transform a piece of humble Brown Bag cardstock into a sparkly metallic backdrop for the Night Cat on his evening stroll. I did the background, air-dried it, then stamped the cat - but it looks as though the spritzes created an eerie mist of color over the cat and the lamppost. Sometimes unexpected results can be just what you're looking for!
The flourish from the Brocade Design Adhesives - by Memory Box - glows with an application of the new Silver Fog Designer Foils. Cherry Ice, Irish Eyes, Seaport, Plum Crazy and Goodmine are the other foil colors - and they're just in time for the holidays. Six sheets of one color are in each packet, perfectly-sized to team up with all of the Design Adhesives. Used together, they give new meaning to the idea of instant-gratification.
Here are the instructions for this sparkly, spooky card:
