The stamps are by Clarity Stamp and I started by stamping them in clear Versamark and embossed with white detail powder. I water coloured them using Brushos, I opened them for the first time today. When dry, I painted the images with a Versamark pen and embossed with clear powder. I did this twice so all the leaves are nice and shiny (you can't really see it in the picture but they really shine also the colours overall are a lot brighter!). After this, I sprayed the page with water and dropped the dry powder Brushos on - I love the effect. I softened it with a babywipe in the centre but left it more textured elsewhere. I mounted the piece on a brown base card. Arty or Messy - hmmmm! I really don't know if I like it or not! My husband does!
