After this long and dreary and seemingly everlasting winter it is nice to have sunshine and flowers and warmth.
My card features a wax transfer background that I inked in various hues of green. (With wax transfer you take a piece of wax paper, run it with your substrate through in an embossing folder, then iron the substrate through a paper so that the wax can sink in. Then, when the time comes, you ink it. The wax creates images that resist ink.)
On top I added a selection of die cuts from papers that I had pulled from a gelli plate.
