You are so welcome! It adds an interesting change to the ink below - you'll see what I mean when you try it.

Thank you Julia beautiful cards , great idea to use the plastic bag to put a texture on the card. 🐞🇦🇺

Thanks Nina - I find it gives a little better control of what you are adding to the card front to use a little baggie, rather than smooshing directly on the card front. Have a great week!

Julia love all the adornments! All are my favorites✂️💌♥️

Hi Annette - Goodness I hope you didn't get the mega color set like I did - It nearly drove me crazy trying to get them all organized!! But I use them a lot and really enjoy having all the colors.

G'day, Julia! I love Monday mornings when I can watch your video while having my breakfast. How can one pick a favourite card as they are all lovely! I am enjoying these videos where you are creating the backgrounds for your cards, and it is amazing how the backgrounds you create really suit each card. I was a little concerned when you added the gold glitter glue, but I need not have worried. Julia, I do not have glitter as I never really liked the mess that glitter creates, but could you add Perfect Pearls for a shimmering effect? Also, I do not have stickers or embellishments in my craft stash, because in the past I was often disappointed in the quality. I usually make my own embellishments if needed for my cards. To adhere down a warped card base (and I often use watercolour paper) I use glue, and then place one or two of the biggest acrylic blocks on top of the card leaving it for a while as I start another project. It is a bit primitive, but it works! God's blessings, love and hugs, Gloria 🥰🦋🌸💖

Hi Gloria!! I am with you on the mess of regular glitter. Can't ever get rid of the stuff. Glitter glue isn't like that at all. I don't have any Perfect Pearls. Why don't you try one and let me know?! And you don't need stickers to use this background technique. Die cuts work every bit as well. Or, just a basic focal piece. And I have 2 large acrylic blocks that I frequently use for this exact purpose! Great minds!! Walk with God's blessings, love and hugs, Julia
