I'm up late tonight, as usual, not wanting to go to bed. I am such a night owl. Especially when I've worked all day, with not a whole lot of time to play! Everyone else has gone to bed and I love the quiet. Although I still hear some rumbling thunder in the distance - quite the storms went through earlier tonight, but nothing severe, thank goodness.
I know many of you have already played with the new, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Shaded Lilac, Squeezed Lemonade and Peacock Feathers, and I know you love them as much as I do! So, I wanted to find out what my favorite of the three looked like with another fave of mine - Tumbled Glass. Well, after creating this card, I can tell you, I love the combination!
For the background, I used second generation stamping with the Hero Arts Lattice stamp and Tumbled Glass Ink. I mixed the same ink with water on my craft sheet, and did this again with Shaded Lilac. Then I painted the colors onto the white embossed, Hand Drawn Flower from Hero Arts. I cut out the flower and added it to the background with dimensional adhesive.
It's a really simple card but it's my favorite thing to do - just stamping, coloring and cutting! Thanks for coming by! Have a good week! :)

Oh you've inspired me to get that flower stamp out, Barb! Love this card! I haven't opened my new inks yet--now I think that will be next on my list for tomorrow.
Great combo Barb!!! I am waiting for my DI too and your pretty card is making the wait so difficult:)
Those colors are wonderful together - and what a beautiful flower! Love it! Have a great week, hugs, Karin
great colours together Barb. The watercoloured look of your flower is so pretty. The lattice background looks lovely.
Great coloring on the flowers and indeed the colours are great together with the matching bg, Barb!
There is something about Turquoise that presses my buttons, I love this Palette Barb, it is warm and friendly even though Blue is generally viewed on the cool side, the Lattice Bg is so pleasing to the eye.
A beautiful card.
