Background Technique three and four

Technique three was the most unsuccessful one for me.

I used a piece of glossy card and used a green neon inkpad to smoosh a background.  
I thought it looked very boring so I used the yellow neon in a sort of circular motion forming a petal shape.  I then repeated this again with the red ink pad.

Unfortunately the inks did not dry very will and, if it doesn't dry completely, I may heat emboss it with clear powder.


Technique four was one of my favourites - Heat embossing.  

Not the neon inks though .....

I inked up my Hessian stamp with copper pigment ink and embossed it with clear powder. While I had the embossing powders on the desk, I inked up one of my lace stamps, stamped this twice and embossed them with soft gold powder.

Nice!!
