Now obviously, you need to include all the things in a recipe for it to turn out...but I kept ending up with cards that I was *done* with only 3 items from the recipe. But I persevered!
The Glimmer Glam has a marvelous shine - I used glossy paper to get the pooling effect |
I embossed the flowers in white on glossy paper, then painted them liberally with a wet brush (nearly as much water as could fill the embossed areas), and then dabbed in the Glimmer Glam with the same brush. I think the rest is pretty straightforward - and I've got a dog dancing at my feet ready to go get her boy!

ReplyDeleteHi Jessi - I am so far behind on commenting. I'm sorry I have missed so much. I was looking for a sketch when I came across this amazing card that won top awards. I briefly looked and my brain said - whoa that looks familiar. I went back...I knew it looked familiar. It was YOU!! Congratulations lady. This is just GORGEOUS. I love everything about it. Absolutely fabulous.
