Welcome back and today I have a card made from iCraft products – silk foam, flower and sentiment dies and a resin embellishment that I have used Prima patina pastes on.

 

This silk foam is really lovely to work with and does not require any heating at all.  I have used Ranger Archival inks to colour the foam to coordinate with the background paper – Watercolour Fantasy.  The pollens matched the paper and flowers perfectly.
