Sometimes a simple look just works, I tried to catch the shimmer and sparkle of the cattails in this picture. I know that cattails are not suppose to sparkle but in my world they are beautiful so why not let them shine. I first created the Cattails by using Flower Soft Wire and rolled the end of the wire in Flower Soft high tack glue, then rolled it in a mix of Gold and Nut brown Flowersoft and glitters pressing softly to make it all stick before it could dry. I stamped the image then created a small hole that I fed the wire through it so that it was hidden, I used tape on the back to hold it in place. I coloured the rest of the image with a mix of Tombow markers and Spica Glitter markers.
Supplies: Cream cardstock, brown mulberry, K&Company-Recycled Earth brown Mat Pad, LasVegas stamps-Cattails, The Artful Stamper-Happy Birthday, Flower Soft-Gold and Nut Brown, Jewel Glitter Ritz-Sahara and Bronze, Flower Soft wire.
As I was getting ready to post this, I realized that I had forgotten to take pictures of some card that have already gone out in the mail, it must have been one of my many scatterbrain days.
I am hoping to post something for Mojo later.
Cheers,
Nina
