Since the theme is High Gloss, I decided to use my UTEE--it made my card difficult to photograph, but it is very glossy in person.
My card layout was inspired by this card by Amy that I saw last night. I die cut two flowers from Doodlie Do and stamped them with Versafine Onyx Black. Then, I turned the stamp upside down, and used the back to stamp color onto the stamped image (too lazy to color, but this is so easy). I used SU Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe. I did the same thing with the leaves, using Limeade Ice ink. Then, I covered both flowers with Versamagic and embossed with 3 coats of UTEE. The flowers are very stiff and shiny in person.
There's a lot to see today, so I won't keep you long.
Thanks for Visiting
