Look how dreamy this inspiration card is! I think it's colours inkblended and then white stamping over top and it's absolutely gorgeous!
I tried a different technique to get a similar feel - I used my Catherine Pooler inks and my gel press to create a background, and then I spritzed water over a stencil to kind of bleach out the colours in the pattern.

I was eyeing that inspiration card too but hadn't figured out how to echo that "dreamy" bg. You did though and you did it superbly. Love this look. And then you topped it off with your signature geometrics for a fun design. Great card.
Great card, Ardyth! I love the light BG and how you removed some of the ink, using water over a stencil! The triangle geometric die cut is really cool!

Ardyth, this is such a gorgeous card. I love the soft colors and pattern of the background. They really highlight the triangle die cut and raised birthday sentiment. Gorgeous!
