My NZ group swap this month had a technique that Suna set... Sepia card. She gave us some sites to visit to see how to make a sepia style card. One of them was THIS one - which I CASED
I did some watercolouring with brown inks for my base. I then stamped the flowers. They were an unbranded set I have. I added extra brown inks. I used some bleach to take away the colour. The rest of the background was a variety of stamps - from Inkadinkado, and Kaisercraft. I added some white pen to the centre of the flowers. The Altenew sentiment was white heat embossed and then I used a black micro pen to outline the beauty word,
I'm able to go back to work tomorrow - our lockdown level is down to Level 2. A relaxation of restrictions - up to 100 people at functions and bars and restaurants can open again as well as shops, albeit with social distancing.
Take care out there people!

A fabulous card Dawn, love that sepia look. looking forward to our restaurants opening again, we haven't been out for a meal for a year now except for braving a takeaway pizza and eating it in a pub garden in the summer. Really missing those treats!!
This is such a brilliant card Dawn. A lot of new techniques for me to look at, never thought of using bleach!
You have a lovely blog, with lots of amazing creations.
Stay safe when going back to work, here in the UK we are still under lockdown.

What a beautiful card, Dawn! At least your lockdowns don't last very long, so guess they must be working. Stay safe!
Hi Dawn, I have this gorgeous stamp set from Paper Rose Studio and love it. Will have to try this technique. There is something timeless about the sepia. Beautifully done.
Such a wonderful lot of techniques in this card and great result. CarolG
