Hard to capture the die-cut words on this. They started as gold, which didn't show enough. I added Stickles and they showed better. I added black Sharpie this morning and they show even better, but I wanted to angle the photo to capture the gold in the background.
I finally made a DIY gel plate and had fun yesterday starting to learn how to use it. This is acrylics including gold, and just swirled a little with a piece of foam cut with a deckle-edge scissors. I cut it to fit behind the snowflake panel. The cardinal is cut from some of the paper I misted red for my poppies yesterday. I used Pinflair glue to add permanent dimension to the wings, since I have a little in the dispensing syringe that needs using within the next week, left after another project. I used Liquid Pearls to colour his beek.

Gorgeous, Sabrina! Love the cardinal and snowflakes. The gold wording does show up as well as the gold in the bg! I tried using my gelli plate yesterday. Certainly fun!
