Hi crafty friends!! Kari with you to share this card featuring the Budding Thanks set from Altenew. Their stamp sets, particular the layering sets are so beautiful, but they can be a bit intimidating. I didn't let that stop me in purchasing this set, with its coordinating dies . There are many inks you could use to ink up these beautiful flowers, but I wanted to use Distress Oxide inks. They are great for full coverage inking since there is a fusion of dye and pigment ink. I used Twisted Citron , Lucky Clover , Worn Lipstick , and Candied Apple . I wanted to keep this card fairly clean and simple, because I wanted that flower to take center stage. For my sentiment, I used the set crafty friends also from Altenew. I also wanted to an "ombre" look to the sentiment as well, so I used both the Worn Lipstick and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks to achieve that ...
