As I applied my inks I dried between layers with my heat tool, then I stamped parts of the sheet music stamp using a contrast colour, stencilled the lattice design with a darker ink, then stamped with Versamark and gold embossed small splatters. Once everything was finished I applied a light coat of distress glaze, which seals and intensifies the colours. It was a thoroughly enjoyable process and I know realistically I'm just feeling uncomfortable about it because it's so far beyond my wheelhouse. Ho hum. More practise, methinks. I'll be very interested to read your comments.
Materials used:
- stamps - Gorgeous Grunge, Sheet Music, Picture Perfect Birthday

If you're into this look please do let me know how I've done and I'd appreciate any hints you may have for my next attempt!
Thanks for stopping by.
