I thought I would share one of the cards that I created last weekend that wasn't accepted for publication.
This was created from a scrap I have had in my scrap pile for a long time. The background was created using distress inks mixed up with water on my craft mat. I inked up the Holly and Flourish (Hero Arts) stamp directly in the inky water and stamped it on white cardstock. The fun part of this technique is as it dries the image usually looks better than when you stamped it.
I paired the background with beautiful trim that I found at the Antique Mall. Love browsing around there looking at odds and ends.
The lovely sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps and it is called Hope Feathers (QQ1007-D).
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
