.For some reason, I seem to be sketch challenged, LOL. It always takes me longer to use a sketch then without. But I gave it my best shot. This is one of the LOTV stamps that I won. I was so excited! They remind me so much of my sister and I. She lives in Texas and I live in Ohio so we don't get together as much as we would like; but whenever we do, we love to go to tea/coffee shops and catch up on all the news. She's the best sis in the world!
I wanted to make my own paper but then I went and covered most of it up! I really like how the blue paper turned out. I painted white c.s. with blue acrylic paint and then when that was dry I painted over it with a 50/50 mixture of water and Turquoise CI Paint. While it was still wet I sprinkled it with 91% rubbing alcohol. The paint separated and I had light blue circles that were all sparkly from the shimmer paint. The 91% is important, it won't work with anything less.
I embossed my paper with a cuttlebug embossing folder and then painted the raised portions with some more Turquoise CI Paint. I then made a glimmer mist with 'Blue Ice'. The paper is just pure shimmery loveliness!
