Hi Dreamers!
We have snow already! Well, I am not ready for snow! And, we are supposed to get a bit more tonight. I will just have to stay cozy and warm making a few cards. I made this card using a Stampin' Up set and set it on a handmade background.
NOTE: I was going through my ink pads recently and found that I had several of the small pads I had not used very much. They had pigment inks on them and had gotten pretty dry---no reinkers unfortunately. I thought I needed to use them anyways. I stamped with them and just hit them with the heat gun. Because they were kind of dried out, the ink dried quickly. And, I liked the soft effect. Then I use the pad to distress the edges too.
Materials List:
Stamps: Daydream Medallions - Stampin' Up
Ink: plum pigment (see note above)
CS: white, plum, metallic bronze
