The cards I make with shiny glass get lots of attention – and I do so wish I had some way to provide a scientific approach to making glass look glassy. “A stroke of this here, that there….and done!” But glass—and anything shiny—-take on the light and reflections around them, so they’re always different! If you want something specific, my recommendation is Googling a similar image, and doing that a lot til you get the “hang” of making it up yourself the way I do.

The embossing is on top of the Copic coloring – to try to color over embossing can ruin nibs.

Love this!
My favourite colour is purple so I was so pleased to see you were using this colour to create the nail polish bottle with Sandy. I like the TOP TIP about leaving the outline of the banner until right till the end and then outlining it with a thin black pen. Love this card a lot Sandy thank you for sharing it with us crafters. :O)
Great realistic glass look on my favourite colour of nail polish. Have watched a lot of your glass object videos & although my brain is getting the idea my hand is yet to catch up x
Looks so realistic.
WOW! You totally captured the iridescent quality of the nail polish! I’m in awe of you…
So pretty, I love that stamp !
Love this.
Great card, thanks for the coloring video!
Love, Love your colouring, I have spectrum noir markers, wish I could get a good conversion chart to help go from copic to spectrum noir. Or have you thought of doing videos foe us how have spectrum markers. Please do.
I can’t afgord to buy a whole second set of markers, sorry.
Love that “shine”!
Good ideas here on how to get the shine on! Reflections are always going to be a challenge, but this will help. Love the purples, which I don’t use nearly enough – but I could become a fan! Thanks!
Awesome glass coloring! TFS
