Today I’m sharing some fun ways to add the final layers and finishing touches on your projects. With NO fear!!

Last week when I thought these pieces were done…. and I walked away, I knew they were not quite finished. I wasn’t sure what they needed, but I knew they needed something.

They were great, but not quite me yet…. IYKYK…

So I procrastinated a bit, because I didn’t want to mess them up…. and then I remembered some of my best tricks to get the right things for those last few layers. I’ll be sharing those with you today!

I hope you enjoy this part 3 and the finale of these beauties. Also don’t forget that my annual Birthday Week Sale starts today!

Have fun watching! And always know that YOU are loved!
