After coloring Bea I added Smooch Illuminate paint to her wings and star and when it had dried I added Liquid Embossing in Glass for shine. I added glaze to her boots too. I love how the paint shines through the glaze. I've had the wooden tile letters for years and although they make for a thicker card (wouldn't put her in an envelope) she's not going anywhere, she's staying with me and so it'll be fine :)
To make this obsession a triple threat be sure to tune back in on Tuesday for another project topped with a Teddy!
Have a great Sunday!

This gorgeous guy was an absolute dream to color, so much space for shading and so easy to see where to shade.
