Inked flowers

Hello lovely crafters
I've finally finished a card I started about 2 weeks ago. It was for a challenge which has long gone. 


Having smudged the first sentiment, I carried on undaunted and stamped the second. I managed to remove most of the smudge with the Tombow eraser which I won in the playground last Christmas. It's very useful for a clumsy stamper! I don't  think anyone would notice it except me. 
After creating the background with ink and water on an acrylic block the card was warped. I always forget that will happen. I damped it slightly, rolled it through my Big Shot then put it under a book. . This could ruin the card but I got away with it today. 
I added Glossy Accents to the centre of the flower and to the two little hearts. I'd forgotten how much I love the glossy look. 

I'm skipping over to Pixie's Snippets Playground. I've used snippets, of course, and I've started using a few scraps glued behind to raise things up slightly but not give as much dimension as foam pads. This is in the hope that they will still go through the post. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

  1. That's so pretty, the colours compliment each other beautifully and I adore those two cute tiny hearts glossed up x

  2. This really is pretty. The two colours together work perfectly. Can't see your Whoopsi at all. Like your idea of using scraps of paper behind for extra dimension.

  3. Really pretty card Alison! And the scraps behind rather than sticky pads are a great idea! I do buy the thinnest sticky pads possible - but it's always a bit of a worry with postage costing so much that I tend to shy away from using them, Your idea is brilliant!

    Merry Christmas

    Hugs
