Hi Everyone! I trust you are having a good day. I have been showing a lot of Oldies techniques on my blog this year, but I want to show a NEW one I found online recently. It's a great technique for all those "spooky" cards for Halloween.
This is so easy and fun. I took glossy card stock and patted Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, and Black Soot Distress inks on it. I made sure the black was on the outer edges. I spritzed water on the inked card stock and used my finger to blend the colors. I love the look this gives!
I used the Pumpkin Patch stamp from Impression Obsession F16031. The owl is a cuddlebug embossing folder. I swiped black ink over him so he would stand out. The leaves were cut from inked card stock using cuttlebug dies.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
