Good morning! Excited to be stopping by this morning with a card for Unity Friends with Flair! I played around with a technique called "Ink Smooshing" - and I LOVE the effect it gave!
I used some MFT dye inks, smooshed them on my non-stick mat, misted with water, and then used my fingers to soften the edges a bit before smooshing my cardstock into it. Once it dried, I stamped my image and sentiment from the wonderful Love Brings You Home set. Finished off with some coordinating MFT cardstock, some enamel dots, and a wood veneer heart that I colored with Copics to match my enamel dots, and covered with Glossy Accents for some shine.
Have a wonderful day!!!
Bold and beautiful!
