This was an experiment and I'm happy with the results. I wet my brayer, evenly, all the way around, then inked it and ran it over my paper three separate times with antique linen, applying more pressure as I moved up the card. Then I did the same thing using Tea Dye. I wet the roller and ran it over the ink pads before every pass onto the paper. I had the MB/butterfly, PB/Fresh Breeze and MB/Chloe already cut in green, then punched some orange dots and added "pearls" to them and on the butterfly which was covered, first with glossy accents. I also shaded the ferns with green SN pen. It's rare that my experiments, with WC or paints are successful.

Supper successful, Priscilla. This is so pretty and your bkg is just stunning. What beautiful colors and the shading on the leaves looks great. You get a 10 for creativity and a 10 for execution.

Beautiful results from your experiment - I'm pondering the steps so I can try it out - thanks for sharing details! Your die cuts look awesome - that's the best version of the Chloe I've ever seen!
