A very special friend of mine celebrates her birthday today and here’s the card I sent her.

friends

I’ve used the interference inks again but this time over black embossing on black card.

The rest is painted with Neocolours.

Here’s a photo of the b/g – a bit blurred but it shows the effects of the green, blue and violet inks.
