Every month I get together with my card swap group called the "Cornflakes". This is the card I will be swapping tonight. You really can't see the shimmer from the Opalite ink but the card does have a nice shine to it. I brushed on ink from my re-inkers (I used whatever one was the right color, dye, pigment etc...) on thick glossy paper. I would spray 91% rubbing alcohol (that's all I had in the house) on the ink that I had in a dish to make it spread faster. I then topped it off with a coat of Opalite ink. The stamp is from Stamper's Anonymous "Dragonfly Legend". I have no idea where I got the charm or the fiber - just pulled those out from my stash. It's an easy card but it helps if it can dry overnight.
