Back to basics


Here's a simple little card that features embossing (one of those techniques that you learn ,fall in love with, and then rarely do!)The embossing works nicely as a resist- I sponged some brown ink over it for shadowing and then wiped the ink off the embossed portions so that it only stuck to the paper underneath.

Stamps-
Agapanthas- Stampendous
Poetry by William Blake - Wordsworth
Canvas background- SU!
