I love the way ...Thanks for more great tips, Susan! I love the way you change the backgrounds so they bring out the colors of the card. I use one of those fold-out foam board things kids use for science projects. I cut it down to about 12" high, then I hold the different cardstock backgrounds on it with clothespins at the top (they don't show in the photo). The white panel on the side helps bounce the light off a little, and I can fold it up so it takes up very little room when not in use. <br /><br />I have to apologize for the last comment I made. I asked you to post a tutorial describing your technique for Twinkling H20s wash. When I checked your archives I saw that you had already done one! It is terrific! <br /><br />This card is so beautiful. The gold and the shimmery green together look so rich and regal.
