Hello and Welcome
Time for more fun at the

So onto my card.
I began with this fun plaid embossing folder as I wanted to use it to create my background.
I inked it up with some pink and red Distress Oxide inks, sprayed with water and pressed onto my heavy weight cardstock. I then dried it with my heat gun and placed it into my Misti.
Using my Memento markers, I scribbled over the Valley Berries stamp with some pinks first, then some reds, sprayed with water and pressed onto my inky background.
I stamped the sentiment using some Tuxedo black ink in the top corner.
Keeping with the simple look of this card, I pop dot mounted it onto a plain white card base.
Hope you will come and play along with us and thanks so much for the visit.

Beautifully designed card Karen, love the colour and what a beautiful sentiment, Kate x
This is gorgeous Karen, and the inked up plaid embossing folder looks wonderful as the background to the pretty silhouette flowers and lovely sentiment. x
Such pretty shades of pink and red, Karen! Love the plaid and berry background and the bold sentiment!
I love the lovely tone-on-tone look (pink and red valley berries over plaid), Karen! I was wondering how you made the cool background. Thanks for reminding me of using an embossing folder this way to make a wonderful watercolor effect.
