Ink to Paper / Papertrey Ink / What Do I Do With This

I am up over at Ink to Paper / Papertrey Ink with 'What Do I Do With This' feature this week.  

The Cover Plate: Birthday Die is such a fabulous die to use as a cover for an ink blended background!!  The possibilities of colors for a background for a BIRTHDAY are endless!  A bonus?  Your background doesn't have to be perfect......the cover die covers the imperfections!  This combination uses Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  The ink just glides and blends so well on this paper!  Over this panel, Shimmer Spray was added.  A separate panel was also ink blended with the same colors and the cover plate was die cut from this.  The sentiment from inside of the die was hand trimmed from the frame and stars and added over the white Cover Plate: Birthday Die.  As finishing touches, rainstones were added across the card.  What is fun about clear rainstones is that they take on the colors of the cardstock behind them but also add dimension and shine!
