The background was created using Starburst inks in Shamrock Green, French Lilac & Violet-Teal. The inks were applied to plain copier paper, then the paper scruched into a ball to create wrinkles. The mica from the inks gathers in the wrinkles and creates a shimmery effect. This was then ironed flat and stamped with an alphabet background using Versafine Black. Next I added lilac snow mesh to the top and base of the arch, followed by a german scrrap border. The collage image was attatched, and 4 silver star brrads were coloured with alcohol purple alcohol ink, mixed with a little gold Krylon. Finally, dymo text was added.<br /><div style="CLEAR: both"> CLiCK ON IMAGE TO SEE SHIMMER EFFECT MORE CLEARLY<a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" border="0" alt="Posted by Picasa" align="middle" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" /></a></div></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435738921866119832noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508099381666498484.post-56052683026797897122009-11-14T23:18:00.002+00:002009-11-14T23:21:15.277+00:00Music<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XEWXrdrqsvU/Sv87X-NW1lI/AAAAAAAABdM/-hTnM51lucg/s1600-h/image0-3.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404103360889935442" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XEWXrdrqsvU/Sv87X-NW1lI/AAAAAAAABdM/-hTnM51lucg/s400/image0-3.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Created for the Sunday Postcard Challenge.
