Swap Card with Embossing Paste

This card I received n a swap last week. Kathy V. is the one who made this. 

The brick look is from the embossing paste.  Doesn't it look great?  It adds such a nice dimension to the card.  You can add ink to the paste which is how this got its color.  I have this paste, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.  This card really makes me want to learn how it works.

The stamp is from the You're Inspiring stamp set.  The set also has some nice sentiments to use like Happy Birthday, and You're Inspiring.   I love daffodils.  When we see them we know spring is here!

The colors are Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral.  Iwouldn't have necessarily thought to put these two colors together, but I like them.  This is what I like about swaps.  You get ideas from others that you wouldn't ever think of.  

Where do you get ideas from?  I would love to hear.

Until next time...Stampin' Always,
