I love playing with my Distress inks....I love making bkg. and playing with simple techniques. That is what this card incorporate; simple stamping with water. You don't need a lot of supplies to create this effect.
Here is what I did.
I began by masking an area on my cardstock then sponged shades of pink Distress inks onto my paper. Next, using the bkg stamp from Penny Black called Circular Design, I sprayed it with water and stamped it onto the inked area. Since Distress inks are water based, you can see how it leaves a pale impression where the water removes the ink .When dry, I stamped the Dreamy flowers with black Memento black, then embossed with clear. Isn't that sentiment just wonderful! I stamped the sentiment called The Best Day the same way as above. I am including this in the challenge at Moxie Fab....Create Your Own Background Paper.
Supplies: stamps; Penny Black/ Memento bl/ Distress ink/ pop dots/ mix and match paper PB
