They want you to add height to your image, so I coloured & fussy cut her out 3 times (took forever!!) and layered each one with 1.5mm foam pads (that took forever too!!) The top layer doesn't have wings so that she looks 3D I also put foam pads under the patterned paper & sentiment, so this really does stick out!! I used: Tinkerbelle - Faery Ink Promarkers LOTV papers Ribbon, heart sparkler, gems from stash Star sequins - Lucys cards Glitter medium paste on her wings Pink glitter glue over the sentiment and in dots around the stars Thanks for visiting!
