hi there,
Here is my card for the IC today inspired by pens at Pinterest. Since I am a calligrapher, I loved the pens and the ink bottles...so pretty. Here is the bottle that inspired my card: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111652042527/
I sponged Distress inks over a mask and then added faux stitching to my create my main panel.
thanks for looking,

Wow! That ink bottle was gorgeous! And you used it really well as an inspiration for this beautiful snowflake card. I love the use of the faux stitching and the pretty die cut snowflake.

I am glad you used one of the ink bottles as your inspiration. I had tried to add a few of those to the board as they can be so unique. Your card design works perfectly and is just as beautiful as the ink bottle. I really love your CAS style and the way you can POP colors so efficiently! Thanks so much for playing and inspiring us today!
