Product Focus: Glossy Accents



Hi Friends,

Today's project has Glossy Accents as the product focus, and these are the results. I have always been a fan of the Ranger products. And Glossy Accents is one of my favorite, it is nothing but a clear glossy medium you can use to accent, brighten and magnify distinct areas on your projects. It gives a 3-D effect and is water based. You can also use it to stick tricky embellishments, or cover it to give an extra shine...

Here is a simple 3-D card.



The word 'Joy" stands out......I outlined Glossy accents over the letters to give an extra brightness and shine.


These flowers were first colored by copic markers and then given a liberal coat of glossy accents. The crystals on the flowers were adhered with, of course, glossy accents.
I used a silk ribbon from my collection to make a neat bow.....



This is a very simple card, the Maya Road stamp looks so perfect with a nice shine. One of the roses is done with plain Glossy accent while the other one and the leaves were sprinkled with glitter immediately after applying the glossy medium. It takes about an hour to dry, and you end up with some very satisfying results. Go ahead, add this medium to your craft supplies....





Thanks for stopping by....

Teju.
