 In today's 'Subtle Shading' card workshop, we made three beautiful cards.

The cards were stamped and embossed , then blended with distress inks. On some areas of the stamped image, the ink was lifted with a wet paint brush and a different colour was applied to create different effects. The wings of the Dragonfly were embossed with clear embossing powder allowing the veins of the wings to show through.
