I inked and stamped a background first to mat it on.
I very very carefully, using a toothpick and glue, added some glitter to highlight her heavily embroidered gold layer of gown - around the neckline and hem. That took ages to do, but it 'real life' it really lifts it and gives it a rich texture, and accentuates and adds weight to her heavy gown.
It's only a simple card - but I just love the image. I might print her on to material.
My next foray into the 'arty crafty' world is to try and make a bag.........
it will take some time I am sure - so don't expect any posts about it real soon.
My project today is to process a carrier bag full of French beans - which I picked from my allotment - to freeze for the winter!

Lovely piece of work, the glittering really does show and lifts as you say.
what a fab idea to add the glitter...it really does give it a lift.
Look forward to seeing your new foray into bag making!
