The challenge is to use StazOn ink. Jet Black is my main source of black ink and to take it a step further than my normal every use I used it on vellum. This vellum has a texture to it and it worked well with the wood grain.
-The wood grain image is stamped on light beige cardstock and distressed with ink. Ink distressing of the same color is also done on the card base and image panel; both are on white cardstock.
-The hinge is one image cut in half. It was heat embossed with black; double coat. I punched the holes that appear in the image with 1/16” punch and then punch metallic silver and glued them in the holes. Using a straight pen and tacky glue makes a very quick process.
-Machine stitching is done on the vellum and I went around it three times and purposely did curvy linesÂ…I really can sew a straight line but that would be boring!
-Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits are used to color the image.

Very nice. So many great elements to look at on your card. It reminds me of one of those pictures you see in black & white with a small highlighted area of color.
