I added some distress inks on the craft mat, added water, and then smooched (at least I think that's what it's called) the colors on the die. Added the die to some black textured card stock, a vellum sentiment, and the pearls.
Thanks for stopping by............

Bold and stunning card, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteYou do a very good job with different techniques. This is just beautiful. I don't know if that is the word or not but it worked perfectly whatever they call it. I only tried that once and it didn't turn out so great but I think I need to give it a second try after seeing this card. Wishing you a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that!! I love it, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous Lynn! I love those neon colors against the black and the vellum panel is perfect contrast! Congrats for trying this technique - I've never done it because I still don't own a craft mat! Derrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Lynn, the die cut against the black backdrop really makes it "pop". Love it and yes it is called smooching.
