A couple of cards...

Hello!  I wanted to share a couple of cards here on my blog that I had posted on Instagram, but since they weren't for challenges I didn't post them here on my blog. 

I received the large floral stamp (along with another floral stamp), from THE Jennifer McGuire!  This was the first time I won anything from Jennifer's blog, and I was thrilled!  This card was actually very simple to make, I embossed the flower and sentiment (from MFT) in gold, and then used distress inks and my ink blending tool to color.  Then I added some water and ink splatters.  I wish you could see this in person, my picture does not do it justice!


This next card features ink blending too.

All of these products are from Simon Says Stamp.  I embossed the stamped images in white and then did some ink blending to add the color.  This has become one of my favorite techniques to add color to my cards.  It's easy to do yet gives very dramatic results.  I'm also crazy about adding Glossy Accents to my die cuts, as I did here.  I love the shine it adds.

Hope you're having a wonderful week, thanks so much for stopping by!
