Crackling Kisses...

Hello! Hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend!! Today's "Wild at Heart" sample uses one of my favorite "tool stamps" in the Gina K Designs collection: the crackle image from the "Bold Flowers" set. It adds the most beautiful natural texture to your cards.
First I inked up the frame in Vivid Tuscan Tan. Then I inked the crackling image in olive and stamped (kissed!) it all over the frame, reinking each time. Once I covered the entire frame, I huffed on the frame and pressed it onto Pure Luxury White. Love that beautiful marbling effect, it almost looks like stone!

I layered it onto Fresh Asparagus and Soft Sand. (looove these colors together!) The middle strip I just placed a piece of Fresh Asparagus over the middle of the olive inked frame, and then lined it up with the mat behind it, isn't that pretty, looks embossed to match! I cut out the greeting with a Nestability, which I lightly sponged on just the bottom, for a subtle airy effect. I'm really digging this layout with this set! Button and ribbon are also Pure Luxury. I also stamped my white envelope with the frame in tan for a coordinating ensemble.

Looking forward to chatting with you more this week, have lots to share, pics and personal stuff!

Hugs, thanks for visiting me!
