Happy Saturday! I have a card to share today that was done with a Penny Black Petal Power stamp set along with some Peacock Feathers distress ink. I smeared the distress ink on a mat, then spritzed it with water and dipped the watercolor cardstock into it until I liked the saturation and then let it dry completely. Next I randomly stamped the floral and leaf images onto the water colored card with Versamark ink, then heat embossed the images with white embossing powder. The sentiment is by SNSS and placed on a SU! Chalk Talk framelit die (r). For the final touch I added 2 strips of narrow black cardstock, and then added some aqua Nuvo drops randomly on the card for a little sparkle.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
