1. Stamped the image with veramark
2. Added clear detail embossing powder
3. Heat Set the embossing powder
4. Pour regular chlorine bleach into a plastic container
5. Using a throwaway paint brush.....paint inside if the image

I did add crystal effects to the butterful to give it a shine.

I love Tilda

A friend of mine (Dawson-SCS) came over the other day and we stamped and colored for a couple of hours. I stamped off quite a few Tilda's.

This darling cherub and her bird.

I colored her with copics and added flock to her wings.

Copic Color Challenge

I didnt have the B-28 so I used B-21 for the tips of the feathers. This is a wonderful stamp and I just love how it looks colored with copics.
