Shimmer


These are my shoes.

I love the metallic look, which still seems to be everywhere. Gold metallic shoes, silvery metallic handbags, shimmery threads woven into clothing, etc.

I especially like the look in stationery and invitations! Last week I worked on an order of note cards for a friend, who wanted them in a light gold shimmer. I love how shimmery paper is both subtle and striking at the same time. The note cards looked fantastic with a mocha imprint color.

Even pink gets in on the shimmer.

All of these designs and many, many more available online at Sweetest Whimsy's Carlson Craft site!
