This card is for CAS87, a challenge to use a Faux Letterpress technique. Thanks Jen For the challenge and link and to Gina K for the tutorial. After some fits and starts with folders that did not work, I used this Asian Screen folder with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Stamped the fan image on Riding Hood Red in Tuxedo Black and highlighted some flowers and the tassel with Spica pens (can't see this in the photo, but is sparkly IRL). Cut out the image and mounted on the embossed panel, matted on black and Riding Hood Red. Pierced holes and framed with gold cord. Mounted all on a Pure Luxury Ivory Card. Fun technique!
Thanks for looking and have a peaceful day.
