Craft Your Passion #124 The Power of Three

Hi Everyone, its time for another Craft Your Passion challenge.  This week the theme is "The Power of Three".  This is what I came up with:

This was a fun one as I really let myself play.  I was fortunate enough to be able choose an image from sponsor Crafty Sentiments Designs, and I decided to go with this one called "Tess Summer Fun"  I coloured her with my alcohol markers, and then decided to do something a little different.  Once I inked the edges with light brown ink I went over the whole thing with Versamark ink and added some ultra thick embossing powder. Once heated, I added some glitter to the hot embossing.  Once cooled I added another layer of embossing powder.  I love how it turned out!  I thought about doing the crackled glass technique again but decided I liked it as is. In the below image you can sort of see how the glitter appears:

Once my image was completed I chose coordinating card stock and patterned paper.  I adhered the main panel first, added three strips of ribbon and flower brads, added the panel to the card base, and then adhered the image with foam tape over the ribbon.

I decorated the centre with an inked panel of cream and a scrap of the pattern I used.
