This is kind of a "Faux Tile Meets Dryer Sheet" technique. I start with the dryer sheet technique (glitter on the dryer sheet that covers the xyroned image), but then I apply clear EP so the image isn't so "fuzzy." I ended up with three layers of EP, adding a little more glitter as needed. It produces kind of a bumpy, glittery glazed tile effect. The front panel is on dimensionals.

Linda, this is positively gorgeous, I love sunflowers and this is sure one of the greatest cards I�ve seen using them. Thanks for sharing and I think I better get into your gallery today and see what else you�ve been doing.

Linda, everything about this is so special, including that little bit of Paisley peeking out. You've really taken the dryer sheet thing to the next level, too. I also love how you tied on the ribbons, love the Leafy Glade background (wish I had it--you know, background addiction), love how you make every card so extraordinary! Thanks for the "treasure"!
