The techniques as Beth said, doesnÂ’t photograph real well but it sparkles up nice in real life and well worth the efforts. I used the Pearl Ex and hairspray and added More Mustard liquid ink to it in stages so IÂ’d get a variation of color. The color does show better in real life; itÂ’s a little light in the photo.

-The leaves are colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil.
-The out of the box leaf is a cut out, I embossed the veins from the back side as I held it up to the window cushioned by a paper towel.
-Then these were sprayed with the glimmer solution.
-The dragon fly is colored with H2oÂ’s, cut out and I also ran a black marker along the edge to hide the white. Glue was applied only on the body portion.
-Ink distressing was done on all panel edges and a few faux stitches.
