A bit of Silver

The challenge at Allsorts this week is to add something gold or silver. I embossed this lovely Woodware stamp in silver and coloured the background with zig pens. I matted and layered using silver mirri paper and stuck it on the front of a silver grey card. I managed to leave a versamark fingerprint on the base card, so I stamped round it with my inkylicious twinchie stamp in versamark then dusted with silver mica powder. It covered it up nicely 😁 In the past I would probably have cut away the base card or even binned it and started again. These days I try and find ways to cover up mistakes. Well placed sequins, splatter stamps, doodle stamps, liquid pearls and embellishments are all very useful, lol. Do you have a prefered method for covering fingerprints or smudges?
Thanks for looking xxx

  5. What a wonderful glittery and shiny card Sally with the silver embossing and the silver mirri card and the purple background with the soft pink and turquoise tones in the snow, and love the big moon with the trees in front... a pretty scene. I think your idea of covering the mark with more of the versamark and the silver mica to cover the background card works well, and we would never have known you didn't intend to do that in the first place had you not told us. x
