I was inspired to get inky and create a mixed media greeting card:
Creating mixed media greeting cards isn't something I do regularly so I challenged myself to do just that. I created lots of texture on the background using texture paste along with the Latticework stencil. I had fun adding splashes of various color including broken china and vintage photo.
For the sentiment I used chit chat stickers and embellished with a trio of roses along with many more items:
