ukstamper challenge week 21 tag

unicorn2sml
Well it has been a while since I last did the weekly challenge so we are now on week 21. The recipe for this week is:

  • a stamped image of an animal – I have used a unicorn
  • heat embossing – I sprinkled on some Moss and Clear sparkle and heated from below
  • something shiny – I used Glossy accents for the stream, painted on rather than straight from the bottle

I may have to take a photo from the side so you can see the twinkle and the stream but it has taken me over an hour just to get a decent photo as it is – I wish the colours would look the same as in the photo as they are in real life. The green should look more olive than it does here.

I have edited this after trying out a few photography tips and tried a few more settings on my point and shoot camera. Here is the image I came up with – can you see any difference??
