I wanted to play with some glossy cardstock that I picked up at Archiver's (for .79 per sheet). I got out one of my new stamps (that I purchased for $1.00 at the Trace Creek Crop yard sale) by inkadinkadoo and stamped it in Ranger Archival black ink. I allowed some time for that to dry then I got out my ink pads. I used Tim Holtz Distress inks in Chipped Sapphire, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Broken China, Dusty Concord, Festive Berries, Peeled Paint, Seedless Preserves, Fired Brick, Faded Jeans, Worn Lipstick, Iced Spruce, Evergreen Boughs and Spun Sugar.
I gave the inks a few seconds to dry then I sprayed water into my hands and dropped onto the image. This give it the water look. While some of the drops where wet I lifted the image up and shook it. This made the water run down the tag creating that neat faded colors line down the front of the image. I love the water spots! Especially the ones on her face.
The card itself was inked with Peeled Paint. That is one of my favorite Distress ink colors an so versatile. This was a surprise part. I was not sure if this would work or not, so I just had to give it a try. I took a Tim Holtz fragment and inked it with cranberry alcohol ink. When that dried I took a small Stampin UP! flower stamp and stamped (using Ranger Archival black ink) onto of the alcohol ink. I love the way it turned out. It was a perfect little addition to the corner.
All stamps featured on this card are from Stampin UP!
Buttons are from Making Memories (with exception of the pink one that is from a shirt that I had purchased)
The pearls are from a kids craft kit
The thread is DMC in 315 gray and 666 red
This card's sentiments state how I feel: BLESSED!!!
