This is a card I made after the fab work shop I did last Saturday. Jenny was one of my friends on the course and so it seemed appropriate to try to create an 'Encaustic Art' card for her birthday. I do hope she likes her card and that it has arrived safely.
The sea horse is a new stamp I bought on the course and was stamped on to acetate and then attached with brads on to the encaustic art seascape. I like using this method to add a stamped image to a scene as it means that you can position the image really accurately and protect the wax from scratches at the same time.
The black gems were clear gems coloured with a black Promarker and the sentiment is a rub on by Letraset. I really love their rub ons as they have never let me down. If anyone knows of a supplier please let me know as I only have a few left and I can't find them on the Letraset website for some strange reason.
Have a great day everyone especially Jenny.

Thanks so much for showing your work from the encaustic class. The results are fantastic. I would have loved to have gone on the workshop but I live much too far away. It is incredible that you can produce such great work just using an iron and wax(?).
Thank you

Ooooh 'Ecky Thump!
What a stunning card and I now see why you had to have a seahorse stamp ... a shell stamp just wouldn't have had the same impact ... no sirree.
Bet Jenny was absolutely delighted with her birthday card and I bet it has been admired by all who saw it.

Lovely card, Ann
Ann my reaction when I opened my card was oh WOW! Thank you so much for taking so much time over this and it is going into work with me for Alison to have a look at. You do have the knack with this wax stuff unlike me but I did enjoy the day.
Hugs and stuff

I agree with Jenny - you've really got the knack with this waxy stuff. Fabulous scene.
