My smooth like glass element is UTEE. I worked really hard to get a photo that could capture the shimmery background and the shiny mushrooms at the same time. Sorry I couldn't get my camera to do it. The UTEE on the mushrooms makes them so shiny. I stamped the mushrooms and water colored them using markers and water and an acetate folder. I highlighted them with white acrylic paint. I shaded them with wink of stella. Then I heat embossed them with the UTEE. I folded them right under the top of the mushroom and again under what I call their collar. That step like fold added so much dimension to the mushrooms. The little mushrooms I just glued the stem to the card leaving the top free, but the big one was so heavy I added little circles of cardstock stacked and glued on top of eachother to support the top of the big mushroom. I wanted a magical looking background so I ink spray smashed the background with blues, purples and greens and then sprayed with gold shimmer spray. I cut the cardstock with the wave and layered it over the bottom. I wanted some dimension so along the bottom edge of the top panel I added more stacked and glued circles.

I at a loss for words, MariLynn. This is absolutely gorgeous. Wow you sure placed a lot of elements on your cs. The end result is mixed media personified. Extraordinarily supreme creation.
