For this card, I used the new Gradient Stripes for the background, and Distress Oxide Inks. Using a stamp positioner I stamped it once with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide, then flipped it 180 degrees and stamped it again with  Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide. The butterfly is from Dream Big, I just LOVE how this layer stamp looks when complete- such a beautiful image! To finish off the card I used a few Nuvo Drops.

For this card, I used some Distress Mixed Media Cardstock and had way too much fun ink smooshing and making a watercolor background with Distress Oxide Inks. I used Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, and Spiced Marmalade. I then stamped the “thanks” from Mega Greetings, WOW is this a beautiful script! I cut a strip of cardstock to add “for everything” and then offset it all with some black cardstock. Lastly, I added a few drops of Ranger black Enamel Accents here and there.

Mega Greetings, Altenew

For this last card I stamped the new Watercolor Dots on Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I then did a little ink smooshing with regular Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron and Crushed Olive. Lastly I diecut “hello” from the Mega Hello Die four times and layered them together to get a dimensional sentiment. I offset everything on some yellow cardstock.

I really hope you enjoyed these creations and they inspire you to create something! Next up on the hop is Agnieszka Malyszek
