Happiest Birthday Wishes

Posted At 01:00 AM on May 30, 2010  |  Posted In: Jean Okimoto's Blog

 
I've used some different "tools of the trade" here...Glue Gloss, Sparkle Fibers, and  Petaloo white velvet leaves colored with Clearsnap inks. It's a collagey card, with a lot happening on it, but I think the different elements work together because the three color groups seem to agree with each other.  Hope you agree!
