This is what I ended up with:
I was really pleased with how this picture turned out. I was trying to capture the glitter and I think it actually photagraphed better than the card looks in person. Hee Hee... Maybe this should be sent in an email instead of snail mail.
Here are the steps to create:
1. Begin with a piece of glossy cardstock.
2. Stamp the tree using Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad.
3. Emboss the tree using JudiKins Metallic Copper Embossing Powder.
4. Paint on twinkling H2O's with a water brush. Colors used were Periwinkle, Blue Ice, Passion. Use a lot of water and swirl around. Dab off excess and smear with paper towel.
5. Stamp over the entire picture with Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad.
6. Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
7. While the embossing powder is still hot add another layer of clear embossing powder and heat.
8. While the embossing powder is still hot sprinkle fine glitter (light blue) on the wet embossing powder. (This will get very messy as not all the glitter will stick and the hot air from the heat gun will blow the glitter all over.) I am covered in a fine blue sparkle as I type. :)
9. Finish off the layers with one more layer of clear embossing powder while the picture is still hot.
