Glossy flowers

I think I am going to have fun with this new set (new to me, that is).  I used markers to ink up the stamp and spritzed it with water before stamping it.  I then decided to give it a little more definition with the markers by drawing in some petal lines and giving the lower edge of the petals a dark line.  I softened the background with some sponging in  Saffron, Mustard and Artichoke.

When I began I didn’t set out to make a cracked glass card but it happened any way.  As you can imagine an image that size takes a lot of embossing powder so I stopped short of making a smooth surface.  Probably another coating of Glossy Glaze would have done that.  I decided instead to have the stippled glass look.  When I had added the ribbon and the matte, it still needed something so I added the little friend tab which seems to have balanced it out.

I hope to play with this set again this weekend.

Thanks for dropping in.
