THEN I SPONGED THE ENTIRE PIECE WITH PISTACHIO PUDDING INK TO REMOVE SOME OF THE WHITENESS.

THEN I SPONGED THE EDGE ONLY WITH EARLY ESPRESSO INK.

THE GREETING IS FROM THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY WISHES AND IS STAMPED IN SOFT SUEDE INK.

I TRIED IT IN BOTH EARLY ESPRESSO AND CHOCOLATE CHIP BUT IT LOOKED WAY TOO DARK IN MY OPIONION .

THE GREETING IS MATTED ON EARLY EASPRESSO CARD STOCK AND THE CARD BASE IS HANDSOME HUNTER RETIRED CARD STOCK.
