Day 4 here goes!! After receiving my order yesterday (and yes I received another [my October Whit Kit] today) I had lots of choices of non-inked up stamps!! I chose Lawd have mercy! This set is one of those sets that if I hadn't seen it used, both in live events and posted by other amazingly talented ladies, would have never thought to purchase! That is an absolute fact! She's really not my "style" or so I thought! I absolutely loved using her! I can see her going on birthday cards and other somewhat snarky cards to friends!
I started with some watercolor paper that I spritzed with water. I took some distress ink (walnut stain, tea dye and frayed burlap) and stamped an acrylic block. Then I smooshed (yes the technical term is smoosh) the wet watercolor paper onto the block and soaked up all that distress ink goodness! Stamped my girl and sentiment, distressed the edge with a distressing tool and some more frayed burlap ink. My Whit Kit arrived just in time for the burlap cardstock background! Flowers, a button and some Nuvo crystal drops in ebony black finished it off! The polka dot paper is from the Apple Pickin paper set from the September Whit Kit. Love her!!!
Beautiful card!
