This is for TLC361 to create a project inspired by Belleek Pottery. I get to play early today as I am off work to take my hubby for a medical procedure later on today. The pottery created by Belleek does not look like the pottery I am familiar with. Wow! It is so gorgeous. This is my first successful attempt to brayer color onto an embossing folder. I have tried several times and have always ditched the project. I love how this turned out using anquie linen ink. I thought the design on the folder was perfect to create the apperance of porcelain. The punched frame seemed to be the perfect way to enhance the background without covering too much of it up. I sponged ink lightly on the frame, foliage and flowers. I got a little too heavy handed with the ink on my tiny flowers but I still love the way they look with the leafy flourish.

Kittie, This is beautiful. I too love the linen color on the embossing folder. Great idea using the frame to add detail but not overwhelming the background. TFS

I almost used that same embossing folder, but you would have put my efforts to shame with this masterpiece. Love the monochomatic look of this fabulous card.
