Hello!

TECHNIQUES

Distress Ink watercolor , die cutting (main panel), heat embossing (sentiment)

I smooshed blue ink from the pad onto acetate sheet (a second layer of light green on the second card) spritzed with water, laid another acetate sheet over to blend and then removed, laid image panel onto inked acetate sheet (you can use both sides of sheets on scrap cs to maximize ink usage).  I stamped the image first in black Versafine ink to better control placement of color.
