The ink pad I have used is Kaleidacolour and the stamps are from Dandelion wishes by Creative Expressions - I love this set. The stamping is done with black Versafine and clear embossing powder - you may have noticed I use this a lot! I brayered the ink onto gloss card, stamped and embossed the image, then gave it a good polish with a tissue. The sentiment is done in the same way and cut out and matted with Spellbinder dies. The black base card is stamped around the edge with the little dandelion seed stamp, but I am not sure if you can see it as it is black on black. I added the ribbon and black pearls for a little detail. I like this particular ribbon because the centre allows the background colour to show through. There is plenty of time to join in with this challenge or to pop over and see the other entries along with Neet and Von's fabulous cards. I really enjoy working with colour so may have to enter again with another technique! Thank you for visiting me, I really appreciate your comments. Take care. Christine xx
