It did look good on the flat photo but was "meh" on the non-flat mixed media side of my collage. Probably that side of my collage I should have used a spray. I needed to seal the objects and glitter on top but the Satin tamped them down and took away their shine and 3-day effect. It was still nice but could have been better- the side that was mixed media - nonflat. What do you all think of my idea to use a spray for next time, unless it's a simple flat paper clipping or photo? I felt like the Satin not only impeded the 3-day-ness of it but also took away the shine of the glitter and gold flakes and such.

Oh how fun, this project sounds. There is a shinier version (gloss) of ModPodge, so I would say try that for the part of it you want to have the shininess & 3 day effect look to it.

Did you take a pic of it? . Curious (as hell) here....
BTW I lovbe you more...
