Make It Monday - Cool Condensation Effects

Betsy Veldman has a fun Make It Monday challenge for us over at the PTI blog.  You'll find her video tutorial here.  Basically, you use Glossy Accents to make drops of 'condensation' on a vase or cold drink container or to make 'dew drops' on flower petals and she shows us how to create highlights using a darker color and a lighter color of the same shade.

I like to use PTI products when I do the PTI challenges (you have to use at least one) and I don't have any PTI large container stamps so I went with the 'dew drops on roses' effect.

  I used this lovely blossom from the In Bloom set but since it was an outline stamp - I colored it by sponging with two shades of red (rather than using 2 colors of ink directly on a solid stamp).  I used Ranger Distress Inks - Worn Lipstick in the center and the darker Festive Berries along the edges.  I cut out the bloom and layered it over this lovely frame from Gatsby Glamour - popping it up on foam dots.  The sentiment is from the same set.
