This photo is just a tad brighter than in real life.
-Prismacolor pencil, baby oil and paper stumps were used for the flowers and leaves color; this is the same technique as Gamsol magic but I use baby oil and IÂ’m very happy with the results - no odorless but harmful fumes that give me a headache. I have to mention this once in a while because I get messaged often as to what the baby oil does!
-The flowers and leaves are sculpted using a metal ball stylus. I love the dimension it gives and its well worth the few minutes it takes to do the technique.
-Corner features are from the EK Success Iron Eagle punch.
-Piercing was done with the Stampin Up mat pack and Making Memories piercer.
-Clear gems are placed in the flower center using Diamond Glaze for adhesive.
