Happy birthday to me! :)


Happy-birthday-card

Happy birthday to me! :)


I have been experimenting with Golden glass bead gel on patterned paper. I first embossed the patterned paper with a script embossing folder, then rubbed some distress ink over it before applying the glass bead gel. The result is a sparkling finish with a faint hint of embossing...:) However, it took so long to dry, I got lazy and finished off with dimensional stickers. *LOL*
P/s: Have an awesome week! :)

    Happy Belated Birthday!!!. This is a sweet technique, it gives like a china sheen or ceramic quality to the pattern paper, very clever :). LOVE it.
