This is one of my fav techniques and I haven't done it in a while. Thanks for reminding me with your trip down memory lane.
I know you are supposed to use mulberry paper, but I have every color except white. So I used plain old tissue paper. The cheap kind. Some has a coating on one side and that doesn't really work. I also used dye reinkers diluted in water and mixed in little spritzer bottles. So after I embossed the little images onto the white tissue paper, I put it in a shallow pan and spritzer with the different colors. Then put it between two sheets of blank paper and ironed. I used a large deckle scissors around the edge.
I stamped two of the main image and colored both with Twinkling H2O's. I cut out the rectangle, flower and leaf of one and attached on top of the other with foam tape. I attached it to the larger batik piece. I took a larger piece of the blue and cut the center out to make a frame and attached it all to a peach card front. (The peach that shows thru around the image is the card front, that's why it looks brighter.) TFL

Really eyecatching!! Thanks for more or less explaining the way you did it!! I've never tried batik, and it looks fascinating! The twinkling H20's on the flower and leaf - and the 3 -d of them look great!! Fab card!
