Miscellaneous Cards #1

Have you ever heard of the term "swinking"? Well, I never had until the other day when a YouTube video popped up on my cell phone using ink pads directly to white paper to make interesting backgrounds. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have used this technique, so it's probably not new to you. I had just never heard the term before and what I got out of it was swiping ink on the paper! So, with no pressing projects and just wanting to basically craft, I cut four pieces out of 8-1/2 x 11 paper and played with my Dew Drop Memento Inks as well as some old Rubber Stampede squares of ink that have no color names on them. I made 8 cards all together, this being the first three. Although the gal in the video did a bunch of different designs and techniques, I basically just did this type showing.

So left to right:
The Goldfinch bird sticker was from my sweet friend, Marylou and the evergreen diecut from Carri that I embossed with Ranger Verdigris. That you sweet friends. Background is Memento Potter's Clay, Desert Sand and Rhubarb Stalk. Butterfly is from a real picture that I printed and fussy cut out years ago.

Painted Bunting sticker, once again from Marylou. She sent me a sheet of these beautiful stickers some time last year and I thought I would put them to use on these simple cards. Background colors are Memento Rose Bud, Lulu Lavender, VersaMagic Perfect Plumeria and Spring Pansy.

Bouquet card - Memento Lady Bug (from Marci...thank you!), Angel Pink, Rose Bud and Lulu Lavender. The bouquets are old Jolee's Boutique. Clear sticker in the middle is from Hobby Lobby.

Thank you for visiting my gallery!
