A mixed media Happy Birthday card for a friend's 31st birthday. I was curious to see if some old fabric dye I had would work on paper. Well, it was so old it was gooey, so I smeared it with a tissue. It also was very sticky, so I coated the entire card with mod-podge to get rid of the tackiness (it worked!). The Mod-Podge allowed the orange ink from the fish to bleed a little and I liked the sort of batikish effect.
STAMPS: "Happy Birthday" (All Night Media) and "Gus" (Mostly Animals) EMBOSSING POWDERS: clear (Ranger) and gold tinsel (Personal Stamp Exchange) INKS: Versamark and Gold Pigment (Colorbox); fabric dye (Tulip Tye Dye); Marvy Orange Le Plume II (on fish) OTHER: braided sequined thread, eyelets, Mod-Podge
