Thank you

When stenciling with embossing paste over an already inked background, I've learned that it's probably best to use waterproof ink.  Otherwise, the wet paste will wick up the color you've laid down . . .

In this case, I simply dabbed on more color to make it look like this was the effect I'd wanted all along.  Sneaky, yes?  But it worked, although I thought it needed a bit more glimmer.  So I dropped on some gold embossing powder here and there and got the look I was after.
