The present I got for my sister

[allenlennon]

Hi all, i got this chest for my sisters birthday, and thought to experiment. Im not really happy about it. Next time ill be buying more black card bored and bigger so i can get the picture of the full chest better. I did some burning, not much, but a little. And it is a bit obvious that i did to. But it was a practice run, but what you think so far?

This one is the key:

I love the way the gold reflects on the bored. but as i said ill be getting more card bored like this, and perhaps bigger, or a roll of it if i can find it and i can roll it back up and use it again and cut off the waste when it gets worse.

Allen, lovely tones there and well worth keeping at.

I don't know if this will help but after ages using card I now use foam sheeting from craft suppliers. It is much better because it bends and gives a more seamless background which can be brought around underneath the object as well.

Cheers.
