My Cards and Tags: Thinking of You Cards using Inky Antics' Branching Out

This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is, "Thinking of You."  I made a couple of cards using Inky Antics' Branching Out stamp set.


I used Strathmore Mixed Media paper and did some watercoloring in the background.  Then I stenciled over the watercolors with white acrylic paint using two different dot-sized stencils.  Next I stamped and fussy-cut some branches.  I covered some of the leaves with Tim Holtz Washi tape and painted them.  I glued them onto the cards and flecked some Dylusions Black Marble ink spray onto them.  I typed the "Thinking of you," sentiment and glued that on as well.  I outlined the cards with a black Sharpie.
