I created the background panel of this card by heat embossing a plaid background stamp in clear EP and blending Aqua Mist and New Leaf dye inks with brushes. I used a trick recommended by Cathy Zielske to polish up the embossed lines. She adds a drop of stamp cleaner to a cloth and clears away the ink that may have beaded on the embossing. A light misting of water created some subtle spotting.
The focal image from Newton's Nook was trimmed with a banner die and was topped with a 'junk bow' created from scraps of ribbon and lace.
Thanks for taking a look,
Christine

Oh, that is a great tip for ink blending over embossing powder! And I absolutely love the way you showcased the challenge colors with that adorable sunflower! Thanks for joining us in the Inky Paws Challenge!
