I did indeed. I used pink and silver as my base with black on top. It was darker then i would like but I learned that if i want it lighter i should have gone black and silver on bottom with pink on top

Adam, It may not have turned out as pink as you would have liked, but it sure looks like you nailed the burnishing. Gotta love those blanks also. Lynn

Adam, In your original post you asked "what should I use instead to give me both movement and...." this led me to assume that you intended to strip the top layer and start again. Which you could have done. Either way the result is a success. Lynn
