Bold In Black

This card was for an Inklings mini catty swap, and the returns are starting to show up in people's letterboxes so I can finally share this with you. I really loved how it turned out so I even made some extras (to be technically correct this is an extra, and it has the addition of a little pumpkin rhinestone brad). After working with so many soft and pretty colours before this I felt the need to break out a bold colour combination and use a lot of black for dramatic effect. The large flower was stamped on watercolour paper using VersaMark ink and embossed with black embossing powder. I then drew inside each section with a marker, even going over it a few times to get it really dark, then blended in with the aquapainter.
