What a beautiful effect, and one that I'll need to try. Your coloring is just exquisite, and these cards are gorgeous. I am still learning how to use frame, and ornate dies so your tutorial is full of useful tips for me. Thanks for sharing the step-by-step and showing the two different versions. I've been in a crafting rut lately so seeing new techniques always shakes off the cobwebs!Karenladdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392815855900173356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-41715555315555316312016-04-23T08:13:03.071-05:002016-04-23T08:13:03.071-05:00Wow stunning creations. ..so creative and so many ...Wow stunning creations. ..so creative and so many detail.

I love your posts and you always do a fantastic job of sharing all this wonderful info and I pin all of it and save you blog posts under your name so if I want an idea I know where to go and I thank you for that. All of the cards are stunning. <br />Have to tell you it has been a beautiful day here in Wisconsin so far this year 78 degrees and I have had the patio doors open and my computer is not far from the door and I have been hearing the Robins singing outside all afternoon and they sound fantastic. What a joy. You have a wonderful week!<br />Hugs PatPatricia St Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349229783436872365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-13721259878488149882016-04-18T14:31:45.147-05:002016-04-18T14:31:45.147-05:00I read this post very carefully and I studied all ...I read this post very carefully and I studied all the photos, because this is one of the most inspirational posts and with great tips and techniques demonstrated.

My next fav is linen card but you do need more pressure to get a good image, the only thing to avoid is card with a shiny surface as the wet inks will just puddle with nowhere to go.<br /><br />Hope that helps, have a good day.<br /><br />B xbrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768329329811996308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-32285785497600275792016-04-18T01:33:45.180-05:002016-04-18T01:33:45.180-05:00Stunning card, i have forgotten abt this technique...Stunning card, i have forgotten abt this technique.
