ReplyDeleteJ'adore your card!
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie to crafting. How did you apply the Distress Inks to the flowers? I thought you used markers. Was it a special tool to control the ink?
I knew you'd be brilliant with Sweet Life Lin! Its a stamp set just made for your expertise - and you've created a masterpiece here! So, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's a focal point alright! Love the subtle stamping in the BG too though. Lovely colors.
