All Tangled Up

If you’ve ever owned a pet chances are you’ve seen a similar scene in your own home like the predicament this kitty got into. 

The lights were battery operated in this scene so kitty was never in any real danger!     

=^..^=

-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.

-To give the appearance of the lights being lit - color the bulbs with Prismacolor pencils and blend it out of the image. 

-Ink up the bulb area with a VersaMark pen, pour on Sticky Powder and heat emboss until you see it shine then pour on the glitter. (the yellow lights were added with an embossing powder containing glitter)

Tip: if the outline gets covered with the embossing procedure it can be defined again with a permanent marker.

Other techniques used: out of the box with Nestabilities for the image panel, Stickles for the large punched snowflakes and Diamond Glaze for attaching the nailheads.
