Tim Holtz Bird Crazy

Tip: When I put Diamond Glaze on the eyes of the orange bird, I left a spot uncovered. Instead of waiting for it to completely dry, I decided to add more as it dried. That was a mistake. It ended up drying in an irregular shape. I was going to ignore it; but when I photographed it, it was obvious. When it was completely dry, I applied a second layer of Diamond Glaze over the both eyes to see if that would help. It turned out so beautifully that I went back and added a second layer to the eyes of the pink bird. Cool.
