You can use photo paper or glossy paper. I used SU Glossy Cardstock.
I Cut an A2 size of CS then added Distress Oxide ink to my T.H. Glass Mat and spritzed
lightly with water and Smooshed one color at a time, drying between colors.
I used these Distress Oxide Inks: Cracked Pistachio,
Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Evergreen Bough for the background.

I used CUTplorations "ATC Builder Die" to die cut 2 ATC backgrounds.
Next I placed the ARTplorations "Fairy Tale Forest" stencil over ATC,
securing with masking tape and sponged with DOX Faded Jeans.
Now for the Magic...Swiped ATC with a baby wipe to remove the Chalky Residue.
This really brightened up the shiny image!
