I created a card using  an image and a sentiment from Tree Friends stamp set. I gave color to this card using distress inks that I applied with something called embossing brushes (that’s the name on the package I have). These brushes are  kind of  small sponge daubers,  like foam brushes, but tiny. So that’s why the colors are off the black lines… It was fun  just to try something different. I finished my card with glossy accents and mini gemstones 🙂 I also made a video of it… so if you want to watch it, you will find it at the end of this post 🙂
