Veins

This card and stamp mean so much to me that I'd like to write oodles about them, but words fail me here so I give up trying. I stamped the image with black Versamark and took care not to overink it to show all the details. I backed it with fern-patterned handmade paper and added peel-off corners to echo the gold in the paper. The panel needed still something, so I mounted it on a piece of white mulberry paper and plucked it short using a waterbrush, leaving only a narrow fluffy edge. I glued a skeleton leaf on a pearlescent blue card blank to echo the dragonfly wings and attached the image on top of it. To finish, I stuck a length of silver self-adhesive ribbon across the card and fixed a tiny heart charm on it with silver wire.
