Under The Sea

Photo Details

Poster: jan31

My card for the D challenge, A BG I made years ago adding glue with my glue gun, something I never use!
I couldnât find a way to finish the piece until now!
I added some gold gilding wax to the glue flowers and some circles of gel pen but then added black dots to the centres, a ready made sentiment, I tried to add black glitter glue around the edge but I wiped it of as it didnât go on straight.

That is gorgeous. I remember we had a TLC doing that once, I found it so hard to draw with the glue gun. Amazing texture in the background behind it.

I think I would find drawing with any glue difficult. You did a good job. Lovely dark color.

Oh, wow, I really like the ethereal look you've achieved with the glue gun and gold wax! It's one of those cards you look at and wonder, 'What is that? How did she get that effect?!?' And who doesn't love a hand-painted background, eh?
