Soot Technique

I am hoping you can see the fish images on my card I created using the soot technique. I had some glossy background paper I made a while back with shaving cream and I used it for this card. I held the cardstock thru the flame of a candle to pick up the soot. Then I stamped my image which removed the soot. I cleaned the stamp before I applied it a second and third time. Then I used a final fixative to seal the soot; otherwise, it would smear. The Gyotaku fish stamp is from Inka Stamps and the seashells were from a string of beads.
