Diva

Blue Ribbon Award Winner #6

The title on this card is "Diva" and it would be hard to find a flower more deserving of the name than a Coneflower, AKA Echinacea . . .

I used a brass stencil to apply paste to the flower image.  When it was dry, I then applied brown die inks to the back of the stencil and pressed it in place around the flower.  Since metal repels die inks, I got a nice mottled background that set off the flower and leaves nicely.
