My item is a standard size card.  I used our embossing folders and decided I liked the unraised side better for this card.  I actually used the Whisper Alcohol marker on the face (but I really didn't want to make her look like one of the undead or anything--just add a hint of color so she didn't look so white).  Anyway, it really didn't add as much color as I thought it would.  ;-)
