For my card I created an inked panel using Distress Inks. I smooshed the ink onto my craft mat, spritzed with water and dipped the watercolor paper into it. Let it dry and then die cut it using a die from the Spellbinders Callista Rectangle Shadowbox die set. The background was created using gold cardstock and an embossing folder. The butterfly is from CheeryLynn Designs die. The sentiment is from a Ranger Lettering stamp set.
We hope you'll share your "ink it up" cards with us at The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge.
This card is beautiful Vickie! I haven't thought to use that inking technique in so long, you've inspired me to "get inky". ;0) The embossed background gives this wonderful texture and glam. Just gorgeous!!
