Sepia Technique

For my Technique class last night we made a card using the Sepia Technique. This is a simple technique replicating old sepia pictures.

The flower is from the Friends 24-7 stamp set. Firstly I stamped it in chocolate chip onto Crumb Cake cardstock, then using my blender pen I picked up some Craft White Ink and added white to the flowers and leaves. I added some Chocolate Chip with the blender pen to the stems and sponged the edges. I layered this onto a Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip mat and then onto a Crumb Cake base card and added some lace ribbon.
