ANOTHER "SPREADING INK" TECHNIQUE

This is quite a tiny card, one that would be a perfect pick-me-up for a friend, neighbor, co-worker, etc.  To make the scallop circle card, I used Stampin' Up!'s Scallop Circle #2 Sizzix die.  The stamped image, from the "Simply Said" stamp set, was clear-embossed on glossy card stock, spritzed with water, and then colored by using an aqua painter to place ink on the wet card stock--this is the same technique that I used to create the "Bloomin' Beautiful" image recently.  Other Stampin' Up! products used to create this card include Scallop Circle, 1-3/8" Circle, and 1-1/4" Circle punches, Marina Mist 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, pearl jewel, and Go Go Boots Alphabet dies.
