We will pick a winner on Tuesday September 11th. It will be posted in the Gina K. Designs Friends Group on Facebook

First up I just had to do a easy and fun watercolor background!
I inked up a acrylic block with Sea Glass, Turquoise Sea & Tranquil Teal. Lightly misted the paper with water, then misted the inks up turned block over and sat it down on the paper. Let it sit there for a minute before removing. Let it dry completely then used Turquoise Sea to make splatters & my Misti to stamp the Greeting and the snowflakes! 
Here is what I used to make this card!

I wanted to do a little Oxide ink on one so I masked off a piece of White Layering Weight Card Stock and sponged on Peacock Feathers Oxide Ink then using my Misti I stamped the images & greeting in Amalgam Ink. Then I splattered on some water and used a white gel pen to add a little snow to the trees!
