for my card.
The fan was part cut on Roberta (Robo), part by hand and I’ve used a direct to paper technique with Color Box Fluid Chalk Ink to colour the pieces.
When that was dry I stamped and embossed a leaf pattern in Gold and then inked around all the edges with a Gold marker.
I glued a panel of Black lace behind each piece and then dismantled the necklace and broach to make the tassel.
The card was stamped with a border stamp from the Stick ‘n’ Stamp, Geisha set, a fern tapestry stamp and I’ve added some of the small Black beads from the necklace.
The greeting was stamped with an alphabet set called LineDot, which came with a Scrap Goods kit.
