This one shows a layer technique using a torn paper mask and the new Ranger pigment inks. I used a range blending tool to achieve the even colors. The sky is made with the CB distress embossing folder.
This next card is a pop-up...alway guarenteed to have a fun surprise inside. I masked real ferns for the background on this one.
Spray ink or paint make for a fast background and some real glitz in person.
I made this last card for a new neighbor. I stippled around a mask by Heidi Swap for this one.
These are lovely Jan, what a great idea to use real leaves for masking!
