For WT79: re-using products. I hope this didn't take too much liberty in the challenge, I used a photo I took while I was learning to use my digital camera. I saved it because it came out so nice. I followed Beates tutorial in the resource section on altering a colored photograph. Using a stipple brush I pounced Crystal Effects over the entire surface of the photo. Then I mixed some gold Pearl Ex and CE with a small brush and brushed gold high lights on the petals. The finished texture looks very much like canvas and the gold highlights make it shimmer and look 3-d, much more interesting in person. It probably could use a sentiment but I didn't want to cover any of the pretty flowers. TFL

This just made me stop and take a second look!
What a beautiful card. I will have to try this soon. Very interesting technique.
You did a great job. I wouldn't want to stamp a greeting on it either.
