Welcome
Today I got some 'down time' and spent it in the studio - I was preparing for the card class this coming week, and I wanted to teach the Faux Silk Technique, and decided to make an ATC for the project.

The stamps I used are part of a retired Craft's Meow set - Simply Delightful

The flower image was coloured with inks picked up from an acrylic block, including Delicata Gold ink.

The stems were stamped with two tones of ink using the

The background was splattered using the red and brown inks from the flower.
The tissue was then secured over a white card, cut slightly smaller than the 'formal' size of an ATC, that was then mounted on the full sized ATC card (2.5" by 3.5") base of black, which frames the image panel.
The left hand edge had some lace added, up-cycled from the edge of an old doily, a bow that has sat on my desk for months, an assortment of sequins and the ATC was finished.

Another great technique Maxine - such a pretty card and the effect is wonderful! I am hoping things are picking up for you and your DH! {{{Hugs}}}
Maxine, this Delicata really sparkles on the card, and your colors looked like a stained glass window. TFS that link, as I didn't know what Faux Silk was! Will have to try this one! Your choice of images was super to try this with too. Must have been a bit fiddly with the colors, but yours turned out beautifully. Of course I love the lace and buttons too. Perfect trims for this beautiful flower. Well DONE! Hope your DH is feeling lots better by now. TFS & Happy Sunday.
Schöne Karte. Vielen Dank für die Teilnahme an der SsC.
