I created this card from the stamp set, Wild About Flowers, page 112.  I haven’t done this technique in so long I wanted to see if I still remembered how to do it.  I took whisper white card stock and stamped the image and then colored it with Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy.  I then crinkled up tissue paper into a little ball and then smoothed it out, leaving some of the crinkleness.  I then covered the stamped image with glue and layered the tissue paper on top.  I really liked how it came out.  I did find while doing this that a glue stick works much better for me than the liquid Mono Multi purpose glue, which is quite messy.  I know that SU just retired the glue sticks but next time I may try using snail adhesive to see what results they provide.  It is important to make sure the image is completely covered in glue.
The DSP used is Pop of Pink, page 172 and embellished with Blushing Bride Sequin Trim, page 178.
