Suzanne’s birthday card

Happy Birthday Suzanne

Suzanne’s card was made using 3 different techniques with versamark ink.
The background was simply stamped (dots) in versamark on green card then edged all around with versamark.
The greeting involves the drop shadow technique where you stamp once with a dark colour then stamp again slightly off to one side using a lighter tone. I used a green colour for the first stamped image then versamark for the second to create the shadow.
The third technique is used on the butterfly. I stamped the butterfly in versamark ink then gently wiped chalks over the top using a cotton bud. The versamark is sticky so the chalk sticks to it creating a soft coloured effect. The branch and flowers were stamped using colourd inks and highlighted with stickles.
