Another thank you card. For this one, I layered assorted DOX inks on glossy photo paper for my base layer. After working out the positioning of the canal houses, I used a sunray stencil and baby wipe to partially lift the oxidation. I stamped the border with one of the stamps from Work of Art in brown archival, and the zig zag stamp in blue for the canal. Again I used the baby wipe to lift the oxidation.
Added my houses (stamped on white card, coloured with pencils and fussy cut, and the sentiment stamped and embossed on vellum. Edged the whole piece with a gold leafing pen, and then decided to add an outsize dragonfly.
