For Lisa's WTUI challenge today: WT969 - Stickles, Nuvo Drops, Accents - October 5, 2023 by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers.
I wanted to show how I use up bottles that are almost finished but still have Stickles in them, so both my cards feature that: I prise the tip off the bottle and stir in some water, and then just paint it on. Here I painted it into a not-so-exciting gel print. I layered it behind a frame cut from blue card and added seaweed cut from scraps and a TH angler fish.

Your not so exciting gel print is really quite lovely with your die cut scene and the addition of the stickles. I am in awe of your talent and your use of using up stickles.

These are great, Sabrina - and what a GENIOUS and FANTASTIC idea to use every last drop!!! Thank you SO much for sharing your tip... knowing there's hope to get it all used will help me overcome the mental hurdle of "running out" that often stops me from reaching for sickles/Nuvo/etc!!!

What a cool idea! I never would have thought of that. I will be now esp as I love stickles too! Thanks!
Well you turned around your gel print bc now they are very cool looking!
I love angle fish...not the prettiest by far lol, but that cool lighted antenna is such a fantastic adaptation to the pitch black they live in so deep in the ocean. Your stickles is like the water around them getting lit up

What a clever way to use up a bottle of Stickles - I will be doing that from now on, thanks for the tip! This background makes the perfect underwater scene, enhanced by the shimmer of the Stickles (it really shines when turned into the light). Such a cute and creative card!
