    Wow that is mousse?!!! That is crazy! AWESOMEness and it really makes the background shine. I thought you did that via a die cut at first glance. I am so excited to see the video. I don’t any of the tools; but still want to learn how you did it. A great couple of cards to help celebrate Altenew turning five! Great work!!!
