The challenge is to customize our designer paper and make it look like the expensive specialty papers.
-I used glitter on my waves and attached it with Art Glitter adhesive. For the inside I gave it a little tab so it wasnÂ’t raised up to high but itÂ’s a very thin line that gets applied.
-The inside designer paper is just a scrap strip about 3/4" wide attached to the white cardstock and a fine tip Marvy black marker was run down each edge.
-The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps for blending using the Gamsol technique that youÂ’ll find in the resources section of SCS. Baby oil takes the place of Gamsol.
-My handmade cloud template that IÂ’ve used for years was used for the sky and I kept the sponged color very light.
-I used up some scrap while creating this card and like the layout which I think it comes from the Verve challenges with a couple tweaks, I had used it before for the FS challenge.

Terrific card! Love it! Love how the paper mimics the waves of water and love the pretty sparkle that the glitter gives the waves - like a sunny day near a stream. TFS!
