A New Technique
Yesterday I watched a video Jennifer McGuire did and she used a Distress Ink pad to ink a piece of cardstock and then spritzed a stamp with water and stamped on the background. So I decided to try it using a Stampin' Up! ink pad. For this card I used Night of Navy ink and then stamped with water spritzed on the Blended Bloom stamp. I actually tried it a couple of times with Early Espresso and those didn't turn out quite like Jennifer's. The card posted today turned out pretty okay, but still not what I was hoping for. So I am wondering if it is because she used Distress Inks for her cards. Maybe later or tomorrow I will try the technique using Distress Ink. At any rate, I used the Labels and Tags framelits and the Watercolor Wishes stamp set for the sentiment. I used White Perfect Accents in each of the corners and after I looked at the completed card, I was thinking I should have put those little accents at the corners of the label. That would have been nice, too. Have a great day!
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
