I made this background a week ago and I could not tell you the colors I used on my card. I wish I would have written it down, because I like the way it turned out. Anyhoo, it worked out perfect for the mix challenge today. I did a hot glue embossing technique which is my interpretation of a fault line. Looks pretty faulty to me.

Oh my gosh, this is fabulous! The background is stunning, and shows off all that glimmery gold to perfection. Love it!

Never in a million years would I have thought to add gold EP to hot glue - the result is nothing short of FABULOUS!!! The color bursts sure gave you a beautiful palette on which to showcase the gold hot glue "phenomenon".
I am NOT glad you were sick, but sure glad you had time to play and come up with this masterpiece!! Hugs! Feel better soon!

I'm impressed. Interestingly, I spent a few hours this afternoon trying to master this technique. Maybe I need to come see you because mine don't look anything like this. What a remarkable piece of artwork, Shirley. You aced this challenge.
