Beautiful decoration, do you have a template for the design?
The video shows to use golden brown for the design and apply the luster dust over it. What brand gold brown did you use?
Hi Amanda! I use a mixture of brown and yellow from the Wilton Color Right set 🙂
I have been watching your tutorials for years now. They amaze and relax me. You are an incredible artist.
Thank you, Erika!! I really appreciate that!
