The AAA Cards challenge was a fun one this week - creating with orange.
I wanted a rather simple card for this challenge. I started out by squishing two colors of Distress Stamp pad ink to a craft mat and then quickly drug my cardstock through it. I love that this look is totally unpredictable. I ended up with a swoosh this was and another one that way.
I added some inks to another piece of paper, this time watercolor paper and when that was dry, I cut out two feathers from it. The feather die is from Poppy Stamps. To add a little more interest, I gave the tips of one of the feathers a dip of gold embossing powder. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.
Be sure to play along with use this week at AAA Cards.
