I really wanted to use the new Decorative Hamsa wafer die and ended up making 2 cards featuring it. I created two really easy shimmery backgrounds using Nuvo Shimmer Powders over watercolor paper. Once those were dry I adhered the Decorative Hamsa die cuts.
I ran some gold and silver glitter paper from SSS through my little Xyron 3" machine to put permanent adhesive on the back of them, then die cut them with the Decorative Hamsa wafer die. I adhered the die cuts to the backgrounds, and then added a shimmery metallic border with one of my FineTec metallic watercolor palettes by painting it along the edge with a paintbrush.
The sentiments are from Simon's Tiny Words stamp set and were die cut with one of the new Nested Banners wafer dies.
I used another sentiment from the Tiny Words set and the same die to add sentiments to the insides of the cards and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
