I have been playing with my Shimmerz some more, trying to figure out if I could get them to photograph better. I thought maybe if I applied more to the surface they would show up better in a photo. Wrong answer! You can see in my picture how the leaves and the pumpkins are white. I thought Angel Wings was clear, turns out if you use a lot, it's white.

So, I unstuck the leaves and made new ones, just added a light touch of Rustic Red and then added a little Rustic Red to my pumpkins to try to salvage them. It's better, but definitely not perfect. I guess I will be using less of my Shimmerz (amount that is, not frequency. I still love them.) I think I need to take a photography class.

Have a blessed day!

Your card looks perfect! I love everything you did. I just ordered shimmerz the other day...I can't wait to play.
I am going to have to try some shimmerz. Thanks for the advice on what not to do! I love your card, especially that pumpkin paper.
super cute! and thanks for the tip - I never thought there was such a thing as TOO MUCH SHIMMERZ!!!! grins!
What a great card! I love the fall colors. Everyone says they can't get shimmerz to show up in their pictures, so its not your photography skills. I am sure the shimmerz adds a beautiful shine in person (:
