I decided to play around a little with my Walnut Inks. I stamped the image from Love & Laughter in Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then lightly sprayed the Walnut inks. Lightly is the keyword here, you don't want to see how my first one turned out. It was a disaster. I sprayed cornflower on the top, then willow on the bottom and a fine layer of eucalyptus on the very bottom. I then wiped off the tree image. My kids were watching me do this and thought it was so cool when the ink just wiped right off the embossed image. I used my heat gun to speed up the drying time, but still needed to let it set for a little while before I felt really confident handling it. After it was dry, I stamped the word Dream from the Small Sentiments Limited Edition stamp set. I wrapped the ribbon around, tied it in a bow and matted it onto brown cardstock. I adhered it to my card base of Kraft cardstock and added by button threaded with hemp twine from the Sophia Buttons & Blossoms collection. I really enjoyed experimenting with the Walnut Inks and can't wait to explore all the possibilities.
Have a blessed day!

Wow Karen - this is amazing and so pretty. I love the image and the technique you used - it turned out so great! The colors, the ribbon, the button - all perfect together. And that Dream stamp is gorgeous.
this really did turn out nice! if the walnut inks you use are like the ones I've used in the past as well as the glimmer mist, I completely understand what you mean! ;) but you did a great job with this! and I second what Dru said, that is one gorgeous sentiment stamp!
