Inking Up is Fun

Hello! I broke down and bought a set of blending brushes and had to try them out on a card.  I inked up a panel of white card stock using Green Asparagus, Dark Spruce, Light and Dark Carnation inks from GKD to use as the background for a birthday card. I stamped the panel with a stamp from Happy Flowers set using black ink and then trimmed the image to fit on a Green Asparagus card base. I stamped sentiments from the same set with the Green Asparagus ink and die cut with GKD dies. Die cut the word Happy 3 times and layered with contact glue. For additional interest, I stamped a bud from the image a second time and inked with the pink shades, fussy cut the bud, and added with foam tape. I think this added some balance to the card.
