For my watercolour medium I used a couple of blue and aqua Dylusions Ink Sprays. I followed all of Loll's instructions, except for the bit where you sprinkle the tissue with embossing powder.......I sprinkled on superfine glitter.
I found out the hard way that I had used glitter, did I mention it was superfine.....you should have seen the shocked look on my face when I blasted the tissue paper with my heat gun.
Needless to say, everything I touch is sparkalarkling and probably will be for a long time. I have a standing craft desk so the glitter had further to fall and further to spread out. I will never make this mistake again!!!
Thank you for looking and I hope you have a sparkly week - I sure will LOL.

Oh, what a beauty with all that sparkalarkling going on. I guess that's why she said embossing powder. Ha Reminds me of using microbeads and them going everywhere...it's maddening. Well, we'll just say your craft room is sparkling clean. I do love your card.

This is so beautiful. Love the rich color and the elegant golden gate. Ooooh, it sound like you have my luck today. I am so messy when it comes to embossing, spritzing, etc..

Susie, do you still get yourself into trouble!?! Lol Sorry, but I can just imagine what your craft room looks like. Does it help that your blue and green blended so well together! Gorgeous bg for your golden fence~

Sparkalarkling card! And room and how's your face? It's probably covered with glitter, too! I am still giggling! But the card was so worth the flurry of glitter everywhere! It's a beauty with that golden gate! I think we used the same Dylusion sprays.

You have miraculously discovered a rare gate to the other-worldly, Fairie Queendomland! Obviously, upon entering, you were being forewarned about the hidden powers of their Superfine Glitter dust. If I were you, I'd make a bunch of sparkalarkling wishes.

With or without glitter, you dear Susie are a gold nugget of adventure and laughs!!
The glitter in your tissue technique radiates the beauty of your sensational gate doors! This takes me back to the 2004 trip with my mother to her homeland in France...Versailles palace and the golden doors at the Stanislas Place in Nancy come to mind!
What beautiful sites and fond memories!
Your gate and card is glorious my dear!! <3
Your card is
