Joy to You
I've been wanting to try coloring paper by pulling it through inks on a craft sheet, like Shari Carroll did HERE. I only used 2 Distress Inks (picked raspberry & salty ocean), but where they blended I also got a purple. I dried it with my heat gun & then white embossed the Hero Arts ornament. Next I dry embossed the panel & sprayed it with Glimmer Dust which gives an incredibly beautiful shimmer in real life. Added these pretty pearl brads, a strip of purple paper & a white punched strip before attaching it to the card front. The sentiment, also Hero Arts, is added using a piece of vellum. I'm going to add this to "A Few of My Favorite Things" category in the HA challenge. Thanks so much for your comments that always brighten my day.
Your inked and stamped panel is gorgeous Greta! I really like how you added the punched border to the top!
