Today I have a mostly die cut card - with a a lot of distress ink fun as well!

I started off by creating an ink blended background using Mermaid Lagoon distress ink and blending it on watercolor paper with a blending brush. I then misted it with water so it could soften out to a watercolor look, and set it aside to dry.

I die cut the gorgeous new Etched Peony die from white cardstock, and blended Abandoned Coral and Festive Berries distress ink over the top. I also smooshed some of those inks on a clear block, mixed with water, and flicked over it with a paint brush for some splatter. And finally, also added some splatters with white paint thinned with a bit of water.

I die cut a couple of the beautiful new Leafy Branch die from white cardstock, and tucked those behind the flower. Before adhering both of those down, I added some black splatter with Pinkfresh Licorice liquid watercolors.

Added a sentiment from the new Happy Days stamp set, heat embossed in white on a bit of black cardstock, trimmed down, and mounted with foam adhesive. Finished off with a few white jewels from Pinkfresh Studio Essentials: Jewels Mix for just that little extra bit of sparkle!
