There's just four days left of Cupcake Inspiration's 300th Challenge Celebration! If you haven't already, go check it out! Lots of sponsors and awesome prizes!
Today I have a springtime card for you--
I used Everyday Miracles digital stamps by Sweet N Sassy. I painted the butterflies using Tim Holtz Distress Inks with a top layer of some water color paints. The background was sponged using the ghosting technique with Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Versamark, clear emboss powder and Pretty Posies stamp set by Paper Sweeties. After embossing and sponging, I added a few water droplets and enamel dots.
At first, I was going for something elegant, but after doing the background and using distress inks and watercolor paints, I'd say I've created more of a mixed media card.
I should give a shout out to StampNation for the class on Dye Inks as I used some of the techniques from the class (ghosting) on my card.
