Memories to Treasure

Hello and Welcome.

I'm playing with inks again to see what colour combinations I can come up with other then blue (wink, wink). 

Today, I am using the 'Swipe Your Credit Card' technique for this card.

I need a few sympathy cards for my stash so tried to make this one soft and muted and suitable for giving at a most difficult time.

So for my card front, I dipped the edge of an old credit card into some wet Distress Oxide ink and dragged it over my card front till I was satisfied with the coverage.

When that way dry, I rubbed my inked paper with a non-static pad and then white heat embossed the leaves and buds.  Using a shade of purple, I did a loose watercolor onto the leaves to help make them pop.  

I placed this lovely sentiment into my Misti and stamped using some black Memento ink and mounted the whole piece on a complimentary colour of cardstock.

Thanks so much for the visit.

Have a great week.
