Good morning! I'm kicking off Luck O' The Irish Week over at The Beary Scrap DT blog. I've done a wee tutorial on the crackle glass effect and came up with this:
I'd appreciate it muchly if you popped over to our new blog and let me know whatcha think!
There are a bunch of tiny blings and shimmers: The Prima wild rose on the top left has been spritzed with Pearl Glimmer Mist, and the pearly pins were colored with a Copic.
I've touched the leaf edges and the very tips of the pink roses with Tea Dye Distress Ink, and the vintage rose die cut is enhanced with Stickles Star Dust.
