Welcome
Oops, I did not realise I had done so little blogging until I came to upload this card... I have been busy, very busy in fact, making cards ahead as I had plans to travel for the month of April, but, those plans are looking very shaky now the Middle East has erupted. 😒
This card was started with a 'mop up' piece of card - I have no idea what the inks on it were, but I did add a spray of a copper mica colour
The first step was to add some stenciling - it was a circular stencil, which I used to my advantage to add interest. I cannot recall which ink I used for that step.
The stamping of the images, all from an old Darkroom Door set, was done in C.P. Over Coffee ink
In this angled photo, some of the glimmer can be seen
The sentiment (from a Uniko set) was embossed with Rich Brown ep, (again on a piece of 'mop up' card) and the banner angle cut for interest
Washi tape finished both the inside of the card and the envelope.
