Thanks for stopping by today!
You should have arrived here from Krista Hershberger's BLOG. If you get lost at all you can start at the beginning over at Melinda's Blog.

I used this stamp set to create these gorgeous cards:





To make the splatters, I used a waterbrush and dipped it into some of my Paprika Ink, then splattered it over my images! I love fussy cutting, so you will notice the leaves and the words have been trimmed with Micro-Tip Scissors. I used the rock & roll technique to ink up my leaves with Toffee & Paprika.

I paired this wonderful set with a BRAND NEW Paper Pack - Hawthorn!!  I loved these papers from the moment I saw them!
