I've been playing with some Tim Holtz rock candy crackle glaze, this is definitely my new favourite. I used it on card first and liked it but then used it on copy paper and thought I'd messed up because as I watched, the paper curled furiously in front of my eyes. After it had dried and with a little gentle coaxing I got it to lay a little flatter and hey presto my poinsettias emerged I was really pleased with the way they turned out.
Marianne Creatables die for flowers.A little spun sugar distress ink on some of the bracts and Tim Holtz tissue tape and a stamp from Banana Frog for the Noel, it's the Retro Baubles set, on sale ATM and is mica powder on Versamark ink.
The little silver balls I bought years ago at the NEC so they are pretty old.
Have a great weekend TTFN :0)

Wow, I can't believe that is copy paper! I love the effect of the rock candy crackle glaze. That's a tongue-twister! The tissue tape is fabulous, too, and now I'm regretting taking it out of my shopping cart. ;)
