  A little side story – it was my mom's birthday the other day. I knew what date her birthday was but what I don't keep track of is what day I'm actually in lol. My days kind of all run together and unless there is an actual reminder alarm on my phone, I don't pay attention to the date. So …. being the cardmaker I am… I needed a card for my mom. Not only do I have a card for her but more to boot! I'm set for a couple years.
  Since I have so many pictures, I'm going to try to keep the descriptions short. I did the same process for each one. I started with using Bristol Smooth cardstock and ink blending a variety of inks. I spritzed with water and also sprinkled on some Perfect Pearls and white paint splatter. Then I stamped this gorgeous Ornate background stamp from Simon Says Stamp onto the cardstock with Versafine. I originally stamped just one but was so in awe I kept making more!
  Brief Breakdown of each card – supplies listed down below.
  Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Faded Denim, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron Distress Oxide. You're Pretty stamp/die from Neat & Tangled. Lawn Fawn gold embossing powder.
  Wild Honey, Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers, Black Soot distress oxide. You're Pretty stamp/die from Neat & Tangled. Sentiment from Neat & Tangled. Simon Says Black embossing powder. WOW Black Twinkle Embossing Glitter.
  Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet distress oxide. You're Pretty stamp/die from Neat & Tangled. Lawn Fawn gold embossing powder. Simon Says Stamp You Got This sentiment.
  A lot of them I actually created on background but was able to trim it down to make two cards. Some I just didn't have the heart to cut. They are seriously stunning in person!
