Well this was fun! I used Elmer's Glue which was watered down a bit and applied through a stencil for the resist bg. When it was dry it didn't look like much but the magic happened when I added sponged some DO inks. The woman was stamped, embossed, and watercolored. I used a test strip that I had done for this technique and stamped my sentiment on that. I added a gold glitter leave, a joss paper edge, and some liquid pearls and gold metallic pen for accents. Thanks for looking and great challenge Jean!

Awesome Pol, I'm so happy that worked for you. I don't mind some color getting caught in the adhesive, more interesting that way. Your girl is breathtaking. Favd.

Lovely colouring on your woman. Your sponged background looks like my Mod Podge one did, taking some of the colour but adding texture. Love the colours you used.

That bg makes me think of the huge old palazzi with row after row of arched windows. Love the whimsy of the purple glitter streaks in your maiden's hair.

Pretty background and looks great with color instead of white, I've tried with tacky glue and that didn't work it was too glossy, your image is so pretty, great coloring!!
