Hi Everyone,
I can't believe that it's been three years since I started Blogging. Although I don't Blog as often as I would like to, I am still having so much fun sharing ideas, meeting great people, and being inspired by all of you. I can't thank you guys enough for all of your support and loyalty for the last three years.
Recently, I have been teaching a class in water colouring with my Distress Inks, and I wanted to use these inks in a different way. So, I took out my sponges, and sponged Broken China, Peeled Paint and Frayed Burlap onto white card stock. I misted the card and got these great water marks all over the card to give it some texture. I then stamped the Hero Arts Envelope pattern in the frayed burlap, and sponged it to distress the edges, added some glitter and a sentiment to finish the card. I am very happy with how the card turned out, but I am not quite sure that all the details will show up on screen.
I used a La Blanc stamp and Hero Arts Envelope pattern .
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Your comments mean a lot to me.
Thanks,
Nicky

I think this may be one of my favourite cards yet from you, Nicky! I love the soft natural feel of it and using the distress inks with glitter is just beautiful. I've been meaning to check out the La Blanc stamps - this one looks really lovely and very detailed. Congratulations on 3 years of blogging and thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
Happy 3rd Bloggaversary! Your cards are always so "Elegant"
