MSE "green" challenge



I haven't made a card in ages but I was desperate to use my new green stack by DCWV, so I thought Rainmac's "green" challenge was the ideal opportunity. There's some fab papers in there and they're made from recycled paper. I used my new promarkers (I love them) to colour in my stamped image, and then I double embossed it to give it a ceramic effect. For those who don't know what I'm on about - I used a clear ink pad to cover the whole image and then sprinkled on clear embossing powder and used my heat gun. I repeated this process three times. I couldn't find a flower that matched so I ended up using a K and Co embellishment.
