To make this card I started by doing some ink blending on white watercolor paper, I used 3 shades of distress inks, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Peacock Feathers. It gave a very subtle color difference top to bottom, but I didn't want the background to be overly "loud". Next I splattered some water drops on the background, then cut it with a Winnie & Walter scallop border die. The hearts were cut with a PTI heart die, and stamped with some PTI stamps for the patterns. The dies in the corner are from Concord & 9th Layers of Love die set, I cut 2 of them and offset them a bit and tied some black and white bakers twine around them and made a bow. The sentiment was stamped with the Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script stamp set. I added a tiny heart after the Mr and Mrs (PTI). I'm really loving my Concord & 9th stamps and dies and have made quite a few cards with them that I've only posted on Instagram, I'll try and do a blog post soon showing them so those of you who don't use Instagram can see them :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Beautiful ink blending Diane. Love that Concord & 9th need to get it, wish the dollar wasn't doing so poorly!
