I would call today a day of revelation and serendipity. Of course I knew of Kyra, since I like to do the MIX challenges, but I never spent time in her gallery and I apologize profusely for that. What a mistake on my part! I looked through the whole gallery; it's always fun to see an artist's journey and even though her work changed quite a bit, you could still see that mixed media and color love. I need to look through again.
This was serendipitous because I had started this last night. Natasha Foote has a video for this technique, which is stamping the flower first, heating embossing, then stamping a geometric background over it and heat embossing that. Then you just choose your markers, color the flower first, then the background. It was a lot of fun, something I've never done before and I will do this again. Kyra's card is breathtaking!!!!!!
Thank you, Ardyth, for choosing her....what an artist!

Wonderful CASE, Jean, and I'm glad Natasha had already sent you in the right direction. What a great technique and what a great result. Your rose is beautiful. Reminds me of a mosaic stepping stone in a beautiful garden. Love the textured bg on this. Wonderful card.
