For my card, I decided to play with some more of Outlines fabulous layering flowers.  I used  Spotted Petals Medium and Small along with Striped Petals Medium and Small.  I began with a piece of tan card stock that had a basket weave pattern.  I painted it with Liquid Metallic Red, it gives the card stock a beautiful shimmer, similar to Bazill Bling.  Next I took some green card stock and painted it with Liquid Metallic Gold.  I stamped the Striped Petals onto the red metallic card stock along with this wonderful sentiment stamp called Embrace All.  I stamped with Versafine black ink and learned very quickly that it will not dry on the metallic paint, I had to heat set it quite thoroughly.  But I wanted the crisp stamping you get from Versafine.  Next came the Spotted Petals, I stamped them with Versafine onto Cryogen white paper then painted in the dots with metallic red.  I cut these out and then popped up each layer for some great dimension.  Click on the closeup to see the fabulous shimmer from the Liquid Metal paint.  I stamped Spotted Leaf onto the gold painted paper with Versafine Black, again heat setting it.  I used a couple of embossing folders for background texture and a gold Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the flower center as well as the pearl accents.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
