Once I finished coloring the image I used Sheer Shimmer Mist over the entire panel and it really shimmers in the light! The sentiment is also from Spellbinders and is a BetterPress plate too. You just can't match the deep etching you get from a BetterPress, so if you've been on the fence about whether you need a BetterPress system, you won't be sorry if you spend the money!
I'm going to send this over to the gals at the Triple B Challenge where they have a beautiful mood board to inspire you and you also have the whole month to play along!
I hope you'll all join me in wishing Michele a very Happy Birthday today! She is just one of the sweetest people I know and I truly treasure our friendship...all brought together because of stamping! Have a wonderful day Michele from start to finish and I hope you get spoiled like crazy!! Love ya!!
