Dina's Handwritten Heart Collage Cards

I am on a roll and having fun making my own backgrounds with distress ink.

Smooshed color onto an acrylic block, added a bit of water using my water brush and painted the colors onto white cardstock. It actually works better with watercolor paper because the regular card stock does not hold up well to a lot of brushing. I used distress fossilized amber, worn lipstick and picked raspberry.

Allowed to dry and stamped with Dina Wakley's Handwritten Heart Collage stamp using Versafine Onyx Black ink. After the stamping was dry I fussy cut along the edge of the stamped border. Then dry embossed the layer with Park Lane's Flower Repeat embossing folder 

and sponged distress ink onto the edges and over parts of the top.

 Wrapped twine around the layer and tied with a bow before adhering to a kraft card.

This one became a thank you card--used Stampin' Up! sentiment, fussy cut with a deckle edge scissors.

Thanks for visiting! Hope all is well with you and yours!
