PTI March Blog Hop...
Hello friends!! Here with my card for this month's PTI hop: High Gloss. I had originally thought I would give Glossy Accents another try, but ended up doing some tone-on-tone clear embossing and using enamel dots.
I have a love hate relationship with Glossy Accents. I love the look, but hate trying to get the stuff out of the bottle and on to my project without making a mess. And sometimes the problem comes in just trying to actually get it out of the bottle! So I gave up on it, but this month's PTI hop got me thinking I would give it another try. I bought a small bottle and so far the two times I used it there wasn't a problem. Fingers crossed that when I finally try it on a project it works! Anywhoo... back to my card, lol! I used the PTI sets Lovely Layers and Distressed Stripes and a bright spring like color combo of yellow, pink and spring green. The enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye. Decided to try skewing the panels and I quite like how it looks.

Pretty card! The colors are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your distressed striped background and how you layered your beautiful elements, Rosemary! Such a pretty card!
ReplyDeleteI have the same issues with Glossy Accents...so glad I'm not alone! Even with the smaller bottle, I get bubbles and uneven coverage...sigh! But this beauty didn't need it anyway :-)

ReplyDeleteI love that stamp set & may "need" the distressed stripes now! What a beauty you created! I know what you mean about Glossy Accents. I have trouble not ending up with bubbles even if I do get it out of the bottle!
