It's your spray bottle! The center of your sprayer has a higher(?) concentration of alcohol than the outer halo. So wherever you point the center of your sprayer, you are creating roses. 🌹
Loving this tutorial as I have the mineral paper to experiment with.
Also, I’d like to know if the cut out leaves you did, has a tutorial. Love those, too.
