Today I'm using the new set The Reason! I just love this set!

Image may contain: text

To start my card I used 3 colors of distress Oxide inks to create an ombre background. Once I was done inking I took the main Image from The Reason and spritzed it with water and stamped on the background, then transferred the stamp and ink to a piece of scrap cardstock (ink lift technique). Just loved how the image turned out.



I die cut the image with a rectangle die, stamped the sentiment and set it aside. Once the ink on the background was dry enough, I took the Angels from the set and heat embossed them all over the panel.



I then popped the main image panel on the card using foam tape covering the ghosted image on the background. I decided to give the angels a light ghosted look by coloring them in with some water and lifting the color away.


For a final finishing touch I added some clear Wink of Stella over the angels as well for a little sparkle.
