A quick way to darken text on a scrapbook layout

This is a close up of the hybrid page I made recently - see Monday's post.

It's to show the word "Deep". As you will notice, it is shiny!

I thought that in the printed copy of the digital page the black words did not have enough contrast so I used some 3-D Gloss over the top to just lift the letters and give more definition.

I used a thick needle to "paint" the gloss onto the thin image.

It's a quick and easy way to Darken any printed graphic or text.
