This scan does not do this card justice. I was playing around with the colors for the CC10, and this is what happened. I took a sheet of acetate, and put drops of orange, sum sun, red, & pink passion reinkers close together on it. Then I put an ironed coffee filter over that (I don't have white tissue paper or I would have used that) and kind of smooshed it around to blend in the colors. Then I put the acetate through my Xyron, and sprinkled orange, pink, red & yellow glitter all over it. I glued the acetate to the filter, and the resulting background looks like a glitter bomb went off---all sparkly and shiny. You have to try it to appreciate how pretty it actually looks. I just used punches to finish, because my DD and I like to make quilt-like cards using only punches sometimes.
