Today's challenge is use water to release ink to flow over our paper to create something beautiful! Please use the WRINKLE FREE DISTRESS technique on your card.
I do not have 3 Distress Ink pads, but I did have Tim Holtz Distress Stain daubers. So, I daubed 3 colors onto my silicone pad, sprayed with water and pressed the cardstock down into the ink. I do like the results and hope the challenge police don't get me!
Oh, gosh Vicky, this is beautiful! There's no challenge police! I feel awful that I didn't add a few more tips to my challenge post! Yes, any ink will do!!! You created a gorgeous background for your falling leaves! I agree with that sentiment! I love falling leaves and you captured it beautifully on your card. Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge!

Vicky, your bg turned out beautifully using the stain daubers...looks like the same results to me. Makes a lovely bg for your leaf prints.....and coordinating quote.

What a COOL fall leaves card!!! I am lately obsessed by fall leaves, but haven't made too many cards yet with fall leaves but hope to, just starting... I think these colors are some of the best God created!!! I think what you accomplished with the TH daubers is FANTASTIC! HOPING the challenge police are kind!!! This is one fantastic vintage fall card, love it!!!
I am hoping to start trying challenges, need to find a SCS primer on a how-to to start... I think I'd learn a lot which is what it is all about to me, to improve and grow.
Thanks for the beauty of this glorious fall card, Vicky, wonderful. And thank you for all you teach me when I see your amazing cards, I appreciate that more than I know how to say... This is going into my favorites...
