Card for a Friend


Lots of experiments to create this card. I embossed the Zia image first with white EP and heated. I filled the inside of the leaves with dye ink on a wet surface using reinkers. I used liquid transparent watercolor for the blue section around the leaves. As a final touch I swiped a turquoise dye ink pad across the entire card; reheated the embossing and edged with a gold leafing pen. The verse was stamped and embossed in gold and is from Jim Stephan.
