OK, so, I'm packing stuff for storage and evidentally packed away my Pearl-Ex - figures! So, I took my little travel bottle of hairspray, added Blush Blossom reinker, sprayed my paper - then I took pewter rub and buff and spread it all over the paper and buffed it off. It does shimmer - don't know if it's a qualifer or not, but it was messy and a lot of work rubbing and spraying and drying and doing it over and over - Please don't send out the challenge police - I tried, honest I did!
Image is a Michael's dollar stamp
The mess I referred to was the process; not the card! I love how it turned out.

I saw in the challenge forum you referred to your card as ... what a mess! Well, that piqued my interest, so I had to drop by and see for myself what a mess looks like, vicky! What a disappointment, girl! So, tell me where's the mess? I see a wonderful card with cb bg and gorgeous papers! And that Michael's $1 stamp is so perfect for your shimmery shiny card.
When you post a real authentic mess, let me be the first to pass judgment!

Maybe it was the process that was messy, cuz this card sure isn't!!! I love the background! Looks all bumpy and cool-looking! Great colors showing all through it, too! I love this card!!!
