Someone Like You

It's been awhile since I've done the Batik Technique and it's time to get back 

to it . . .

 It takes several steps but they are all very quick and easy to do:

1. Cut your cardstock to size, then stamp and clear emboss your solid images.

2. Wad up and crumple the cardstock firmly, getting a number of cracks into the

        embossed areas.

3. Sponge and swirl your chosen ink colors over the whole surface, making 

         sure to work the colors into the cracks.

4. Place between two layers of clean scrap paper and iron off the clear 

          embossing.  Repeat, using clean areas of the scrap paper, until all of 

          the embossing is absorbed.

5. Layer and finish your card as desired.

The text reads, "Someone like you should be celebrated every day."
