-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique found in the resources section here at SCS. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol.
-The flowers are cut out, edges colored with a black marker for more definition and glued to the card.
-The gems are attached with Diamond Glaze (any lacquer product will work). To make the process fast and easy I squeeze a drop of lacquer onto a waxed paper (I repurpose the paper that stickers and labels are purchased on), then touch the end of a large corsage pin to the lacquer then to the back of the gem which picks it up, position it on the image and press down with a finger, there is a little time to slide the gem into position if needed before it sticks tight.
-The decorative checks and reverse scallops is a designer paper border cut out and layered on black cardstock. The narrow strip is cut 1/8” wide and glued to the card base.
-Martha Stewart butterflies are attached with AleeneÂ’s tacky glue.
Tools: cutting scissors, corsage pin, Martha Stewart – butterflies punch
