Bring on the Shine with Shimmer Relief Paste
When you want a shiny background with more texture, reach for your shimmer relief paste.
1. Just apply the paste with a pallet knife and let it dry. Letting it dry well is the key. I learned the hard way but was able to cover my flaws. 
2. Run the shimmered card stock through an embossing folder and you have a great card panel already. For a wedding card, a simple white embossed card with shimmer and a sentiment would be enough.
3. To add color, use alcohol markers.
4. For more shine, add some sequins. These sequins with flower shapes worked perfectly. They also covered a few places where my still damp paste stuck to the embossing folder!
