Heartfelt


Happy Saturday. 
 This morning at Splitcoast, we are being inspired by the beautiful photography from the 
Crystal Gayle Studio on Etsy.  
Here is the photo that inspired my card:

I again used my embossing folder to create the background using green Distress inks.  
To see how go here:

When my background was dry, I inked the wheat stamp from Hero Arts with black Memento ink and stamped to the side.  Did the same with the sentiment from Rubbernecker.
Easy and quick card...love that sentiment.

Sending you a hug for a Happy Valentine's Day.


Adding my card to these challenges:

CAS(e) this Sketch- SKETCH #110

Supplies:  stamps- Hero Arts, Rubbernecker/ Distress ink/ Embossing Folder/ Mini mister/ Memento bl ink

    I absolutely adore this card! The swirls on one side, the wheat on a more solid watercolored background and the border on the bottom - gorgeous!

    What a gorgeous card and background! Thanks for the links to the instructions for this technique -- love how simple it is and using some of my sadly neglected embossing folders.
