2 Challenges; 1 Card - Just Because

Pin It

Today's card employs two of the challenges on Splitcoast this week.  The first is a CAS Sketch Challenge using a beautiful card by Nancy Littrell.  The second is a Technique Lovers Challenge to create a wrinkle free distressed background using ink and some water.  This is the same technique I used in this card I showed you Monday.

I used three different Distress Inks to achieve the background and then stamped the images from Mehndi Medallion using the same inks.  I added a little green pearl to the centers of the medallions.  I love this technique and I can see doing a whole set of these little 4" x 4" note cards.

Thanks for stopping by today!
