Happy Thanksgiving 2019...

   Hello friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this lovely stamp set from Altenew (Happy Pomegranates), Ink Blending using Distress Inks (peeled paint, worn lipstick, and gathered twigs), and watercoloring using Tombow Duel Brush Markers.  To start, I stamped images onto Montval watercolor paper using Gina K amalgam ink in Warm Glow then began watercoloring by using a light wash of water/color then going back over intensifying color and shadows.  Next, I placed a triangle stencil on a trimmed piece of Neenah desert storm cardstock and Ink Blended.  To finish, I stamped sentiment, heat embossed, assembled elements and adhered to card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
