ID Card Wallet

Amazingly the latest project that i have completed is not a Key fob.....Its a ID card wallet. I used two designs for this project. The first being a Floral design that involved a great deal of cutting with the swivel knife, and stamping with 8 different stamps...quiet a challenge but extremely satisfying. The second design is the basket weave back. This entire basket weave design is done with only 2 stamps (C431 & X511) and is easily my favourite symmetrical design so far. For staining of this project i modified the suggested design and went with a 3 toned effect. To achieve this i firstly used DC cocoa Brown for the background of the Floral Design and then Super Sheen as a resist for the borders and background. Once this had dried overnight i used Briar Brown Hi lite over the flower and basket weave. Overall I'm rather please about the outcome of this project.
