Wow...where did the summer go?
Hello and welcome.
Time for some more fun at
Simple one right?
Please come and join us.
So onto my card.
I used a technique that I haven't done for awhile that I called
Basically, you dip an old credit card into some into some ink; in my case that was my Distress Oxides; then swipe the ink over your cardstock until you are happy with the coverage.
Add a bit of water to make the inks flow if you need to.
You can check out my tutorial as well to see what I did.
When I was happy with the bkg., I stamped the flower from Magenta using my Misti with some Versamark ink and white heat embossed it. I stamped the flowers again in some more of the bkg colour to help fill in some of the dead spaces.
I randomly stamped some graffiti on the edges then finished it off with this wonderful sentiment.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Beautiful mix of colors and great background look. I love that sentiment as well.
Beautiful colors and dimension in the background, Karen! Love the white wildflowers with the shadows behind! Great technique with the credit card swipe too!
Gorgeous colours for the summer transitioning into fall, Karen. The credit card swipe look awesome in the background along with the stamped images. It all adds lots of depth behind your beautiful white flowers. xx
Gorgeous card Karen. So love the colours and stamping. Yes it's been a while since you used your credit card. It makes for a great additive.

I’m going to have to try swipe the credit
card technique.
So beautiful a Karen, I need to try swiping my credit card that way, it sounds much more cost effective! Thanks for the inspiration.
What beautiful bright colours Karen, and love the white silhouetter flowers with the red ones behind,and the other background stamping works beautifully too, also the contrast of the black sentiment. The credit card technique looks great too. x
