My February goal for the USEIT2015 challenge is to ink up some of the Unity stamps I bought on sale last year, I think I have one set for each week - blushes.
I was being lazy in not making a mask so that I could just watercolour the sky, but doing all those dots with 4 different colours of Marvy markers (and a few dots of Stickles at the end) took forever, and cutting out a mask would have been easier. But I like the look . Glossy Accents on the firefly bubbles, and I also embossed the sentiment with clear EP to help it stand out against the dark background.
Pointillism tutorial HERE.
p.s. I used a Sakura Stardust pen on the fireflies themselves, so they sparkle under their glossy bubbles.

Ah Sabrina....I love the sky. Your hard work paid off in results. That little girl is so pretty and poignant. Firefly bubbles are awesome, especially as you describe the glossy accents, which you can't really see on the photo.
