    I love the cardinal!

    To answer the question you asked on my blog - Ink would be temporary, henna is made from a plant and creates a semi permanent image. The stain penetrates your skin and lasts for up to 6 weeks. they used to color hair with it.

    I like your matting to show off your cardinal, and the out of the box or cutting you did, beautiful card!

    This card reminds me of the old fashioned portraits with the exception that it is in color. I love the texture and small details.
