Birthday window

Here is the birthday card I made for my sister-in-law.

I knew I wanted to use the resist technique and try some sort of window.

The colors choice however, is a little bit of a surprise. I started with dark blue ink on my resist and while I was playing around with my (new brown) Primas I got the idea of trying brown instead. I thought at first that purple and brown might be a little risky but I really like them together. My favorite part is the lotus flowers made on this cool multicolor paper, they're embossed with clear powder, I love the little shine and texture it gives them and I actually like the contrast against the coffee bean Brilliance Ink.
