I made my own micro glaze following a tutorial. It was made from Vaseline and alcohol. I painted six of these so I can have for gifts. Painted gesso on first and let dry. Then painted with acrylic paints and let dry. Then I used background stamps and black ink. I edged the edges with black ink too. Next, I put a stencil over the star and rubbed my homemade micro glaze through the stencil. I took some white acrylic paint and watered it down and painted over the glaze. When it dried, I rubbed the glaze off and decorated. The key is patience! You need to let it dry fully before wiping. I had the white come off on one because it was still wet.

I watched that video too - still curious though because the JudiKins site says it is a wax paste. Glad it worked for you though - this is so pretty, and you're ahead of the game for Christmas!
