Truly inspired by Jennifer

In the last few months I have had the privilege of being a student in card classes of Jennifer and Shari.   I have not been able to create for awhile but I'm finally able to play around with techniques I learned.  Here is a card of Jennifer's. 

I am going from memory which is always dangerous...   But the background was really cool because it's something that you think will never work.  We covered the paper with Broken China Distress Ink from Ranger (pad to paper) and then stamped over it with the Hero's Fabric cling stamp with Scattered Straw Distress ink that was sprayed with water.  It created this gorgeous color of green.  I know.. yellow and blue make green!  But stamping a lighter color over a darker one shouldn't work.  Aw.... except for the magic of Distress Inks and a little water.

As you can see there is a circle cut out and I saved it.  Figured I would make a simple card using it.  So pretty I hated to throw it away.

Supplies:  Spellbinder die; Prima flower; Hero arts Fabric stamp, greeting stamp, pearls;  Tumbled Glass distress ink
