TLC201 GINAKDEC27 squash card front

Photo Details

Poster: lacyquilter

Created for the technique challenge and Gina K challenge a day double mat.

I embossed the image on ruby red and then tried bleaching it, but after 3 tries and it still wasn't changing color, I simply colored it with markers. I used my new nestabilities labels one and some leaf brads that I received for Christmas.
