I used Twisted Citron distress ink to create this background over some white-embossed Hero Arts floral images. The sentiment panel was heat-embossed with white on a strip of black cardstock that was cut with a diagonal stitched die. I knew as soon as I saw the result that my Versamark ink pad needed re-inking because it didn't look as sharp as I hoped it would.
I'm sharing this over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is
"Fabulous Florals" and they're featuring Hero Arts products.
