Maybe it’s something to do with the crazy weather, but we
have a bumper crop of tadpoles in our garden pond at the moment.
For this card I dredged up an old technique I’ve not done
for a while – Caught in Crystal. This involves floor wax and, when I got the
bottle out, I found the lid had stuck on fast! Creativity was on hold while I
found ways to get it open!
The frogs image (Magenta) was stamped onto acetate. I spread
the back of the acetate with floor wax, glitter dust, alcohol inks and layers
of tissue paper.
The background was made with distress inks and the reed stamp
(Judith).

How fantastic, I really love frogs. Thanks for joining us at FSC this fortnight.
Brilliant technique I have done this with glossy accents but not floor wax will have to give it a go. Your finished card is amazing the nature feel truly comes across, love it.
Thank you for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.

Hi Marina, This is one of my favourite techniques, and I love that you don't really know what it will look like until it dries!
This is gorgeous, love your image set against the reed background.
