This card should have taken 20 minutes but no... it took 4 hours and a mound of trashed paper! One thing after another and it was all dumb things... like sticking my finger into warm Frantage, gems looking like they were dark enough but sadly, they are not. Well, guess what... that stuff smears until it sets. I knew that too but it's like my brain nodded off for a few minutes. Anyway, after a few different tries, I think I finally have it.
It was fairly easy once I got going. I simply stamped the image with Versamark and then sprinkled Aged Teal Frantage over it. After that was set, I used the Shabby Blue Frantage.
