For my first card, I stamped the botanical images randomly using Versamark ink on a 5.25" x 4" ivory cardstock panel. I cut it in half. I heat embossed half with white, the upper half with Cranberry powder. I then inked the panels with Distress inks. I mounted the two panels on Kraft cardstock.
This card is straight emboss resist using the Garnet ink for the text background and white embossing powder for the main image.
