HAPPY SPRING!

Well at least I wish it was more spring-like here in 

Minnesota. It is still threatening to snow. 

What?! 

I finally got to get back into my creative zone yesterday. 

 Boy have I missed it.

I decided to play along with Paper Issues 

Their challenge was to use a Instagram photo in a layout/card.

Lucky for me I just got done printing a bunch of them. :)

Here is my layout:

How I did the glossy veneer:

 I first colored it with the Copic

and then I went over it with glossy accents. 

I was going to emboss it with clear embossing

powder, but I left my embossing gun at work.

I think this worked just as well.
