For this card, I remembered to put down the adhesive first. However, I didn't really get the look I was going for. I thought the glitter all over the brayered background was overpowering and detracted from the focal image. Plan B. I fussy cut the image and the sentiment. Then I tried to recreate the background using the Kaleidacolor Vineyard ink pad. However, the colors had darkened over time, and I could no longer make the same background. I tried just creating a new background with Distress Oxide inks, but the colors that I have were just too bright. I decided to use the more homogenized background I'd made with the Kaleidacolor inkpad. I debossed it with the Papertrey Ink Canvas/Linen Texture Plate, and that helped a lot.
