I've got another card from yesterday's Polkadoodles launch to show you, using parts of the butterfly stamp in the Daisy Days stamp set and one of the sentiments from the CD.
First I made an inky background on some glossy card by dabbing Distress Inks on my craft mat and spritzing them with water. I used dusty concord, seedless preserve, shaded lilac and picked raspberry.
Before it dried I quickly sprinkled some rock salt over the ink puddles

After it had dried I brushed off the salt and ran the piece of card through my printer to get the sentiment on there. I quickly blasted it with my heat gun to stop the ink bleeding.
I made more inky backgrounds with the same ink pad colours and then stamped the butterflies onto them several times with grey Memento ink. I cut out the top halves of each wing - they are heart shaped - and glued them onto my card.
