Just a quick post to share another card I put together at the Fiesta- I really love how the background turned out on this one, which started as a plain white card...
I was inspired at Ranger U to really use up the ink that is left on my craft sheet after I finish a project, and that's exactly what I did here! I had used my craft sheet as a palette of sorts when I did my previous cards (and some other failed attempts...) so I had a mix of ink colours and brown Distress Ink on the surface already. I swiped a bit of the new Peacock Feathers Distress Ink (LOVE this colour!) on my mat and spritzed with water, then literally smeared my card in the inky goodness :) I love how there are spots of more intense colour from the darker Distress Marker shades! I dried it with a heat tool and inked the edges with my brown (I think I was working with Brushed Corduroy?) to finish off my background, then finished the card very simply with some flowers and a bird cage image (one of our $2 deals!) in Peacock Feathers. That fabulous sentiment is an old fave of mine from Hero Arts.
