Blossoming Tree

Todays card is for the monthly challenge over at Hero Arts. For the background I used Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord. I then inked up Hero Arts Large Fabric Design with white pigment ink and inked up HA Friendship Definition in Broken China and kissed the two together then stamped the Definition image onto my background. It's a very fun technique! Check out a video by Kandis Smith here to see how it's done.

I then printed Hero Arts Scroll Tree digital image found here onto my background. I added some punched vellum flowers and Stardust coloured flowers to the tree with a Cuttlebug embossed grassy hill. I also used a Pergamano piercing tool to go around the edges of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Great card that uses many of the supplies (that many of us stockpile) in an original creative way. I love the way you have used a variety of craft tools - embossing folder, various ink pads, rubber stamps, flower punch plus the kissing technique plus incorporating a digi-stamp.
