I used IO's clingable set: Paisleys 3061-MD by Leigh Hannan to create this card.
I stamped and embossed the large paisley three times and the small paisley five times with gold powder onto white glossy paper. I coloured the paisleys with the following Distress Inks - Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint and Tea Dye. I then added Micacolour Interference paint (again) as I love the sheen they add ! I cut out all the Paisleys and attached them into a pinwheel pattern on top of purple card stock that was embossed with the Cuttlebug paisley folder and edged with a border punch. A little punched out flower was used for the centre along with a bit of bling. The background was created by stamping and then embossing (with green) the large Paisley in random areas onto white glossy paper. Next I blended the same colours of Distress Inks to cover the white and layered this onto purple and then green card stock. A few rhinestones & Diamond Stickles along the edges of the Paisleys were added for the final touch. I love a little bling !
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by !

Wow! From one Shirley to another, this is gorgeous! I love that set and you have really done it justice! Thank you for playing and good luck in the drawing too, Shirley!!
What a beautiful card! I love your use of the stamp. Your pinwheel idea turned into a wonderful art piece! And thank you for the tips on using distress inks on glossy paper (have never done that), and I have got to try the interference paint. Great ideas! Thank you for sharing.
