Wildflower Friendship Stamp Set

For the Wildflower Friendship blog hop I created this card.

I stamped the fox on a piece of White Daisy using Intense Black ink. I stamped a second image of the tail and side of the face on some of scraps of White Daisy and fussy cut around them. I colored the images with TriBlend™ Markers and added the fussy cut pieces with Thin 3-D Foam tape. I embellished with Gold Loose Sequins that I attached with Glue Dots® Micro Dots.

My next card is a bit of a happy accident. When I use Distress Oxide™ inks and I see ink on my All-purpose Mat (Z2045) when I am done creating, rather than clean my mat with a paper towel and throw it away, I spritz with water and pick up as much of the color as I can on a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock (Z3885). Sometimes I end up with something beautiful and sometimes it is a little too light or "muddy", but is it always interesting.

As best I can remember (or guess) I think I was creating something with Vintage Photo and/or Antique Linen to get this color. There probably was some Shimmer Brush on my mat as well because I can see a flew flecks of shimmer and a bit of red or orange when I move the watercolor cardstock around. I stamped in Intense Black because I was thinking I might color the image a bit, but I decided I love the background so much that I did not want to take away from it. That is also why I used a simple sentiment and did not embellish.
