This is for the second Feb09 VSN challenge. It was to use the burned batik technique. Here is the link to the challenge that has the link to the tutorial
I've never done this technique but was all set. Didn't know how long to burn the embossing powder but I figured when the paper started turning brown, that was too much!! I decided to use a darker blue to cover the burn spot.
The card is rather simple because I wanted the technique to take center stage. When attaching the batik panel, it must have been still wet because when I ran my double sided tape dispenser over it, it tore off a corner. So there is a clip and sentiment there. Couple of mishaps, but I still like the card.

This card is very nicely done! I wondered why my colors faded so bad? Did i miss something in the tutorial and sponged ffrom the pads instead of using refills? Your card sure looks terrific!
