Lovely once again Carrie.

What a lovely card, Carrie!
I don't use my distress oxide inks enough. This has inspired me to get them out again. Thanks so much!

[@CarrieKirbyCreates]

Thanks Dee for your kind comments. It means so much to me 💕

Loved your card and had no idea how you did that with the colored flowers...Then when you did it, I smacked myself on the head and said "Of course, Genius!"..Really great card! Also, the thought for the day reminded me of you.

Thanks so much, Sandy. I really appreciate your support and advice, and I am looking forward to our collaboration in May/June 💕

Hi Carrie, you’re welcome. Glad you got the colours you wanted. I love doing the ink resist technique, but I’ve never done it like this. I usually dry emboss the card first. I’ll be trying this out. Xxxx

[@CarrieKirbyCreates]

Thank Marlene. I must try the dry emboss technique, too. It's great that we can all learn from each other, so thank you. I will be watching some TH-cam videos on it. Do you recommend anyone?

@@CarrieKirbyCreates I can’t remember who I saw doing this technique but it’s really easy. It’s best to use a 3D embossing folder as the image will be deeper, but I did hear that if you dampen your card before embossing that will give you a deeper impression. Start as you did by inking up the card and then emboss it, but put the ink side face down. Then after rub a dark ink pad over the whole thing, and your embossing will stay the colours you put on the card. I’ll email you a picture of one I did. xxx

I have a video made ready to edit of what I think maybe this technique. I used the new inks and did ink on the embossing folder then embossed it and rubed the black soot over the top afterwards. I don't know if that's it? There are many different techniques. X

@@CarrieKirbyCreates yes that sounds like it. It’s really fun to do. xx
