Inks and Paints make a Happy Heart !

Distress ink Card
          Hi friends...did my title make you smile...I sure hope so !! Well I guess at least for us crafters inks and paints can make our hearts happy!!
         My card was largely based on Taheerah's image inspiration challenge  at Winnie and Walter and I tried to make a distress inked background incorporating the pinks ,  purples ,green and yellow of the painting. 
         Also incorporated the  golden accents as gold heat embossing on my water colored roses and leaves.
Ink Splattered Card
       Added splatters of white acrylic paint using a toothbrush and created multiple layers just to complicate things a bit!! Hehe !! Loved the geometric designs of the floor in the image and tried to incorporate it in the white jeweled heart and woven embossed white card base!
Glossy Accents Dimensional Letters
      I inked my "happy" diecuts in the same colors I used to make the background and layered it on another "happy" die cut in foam . Used glossy accents  to make the letters glossy and dimensional. The heat embossed and water colored roses were fuzzy cut and made dimensional by the same pyramage /3 D decoupage technique I used in my Altered Box.Here is the tutorial to make a 3 D Stamped Rose : 3 D Decoupage tutorial 
Distress Ink and Watercolor Card
      All the distress ink sponging, heat embossing and painting did take time but it was fun!
I hope you liked seeing something in a "not my style" style!!
