hello friend

 Hello crafty friends,

Hope you are having a great crafty day!  I am sharing a make created for the Altenew April Inspiration Challenge.  I love the soft color palette.  It took me some time to achieve the effects, but I like how it turned out.

In order to keep the ink very soft, I used a trick I learnt from Jaycee Gaspar; that is to use an ink blending brush and brush over the inked stamp.  This makes the ink soft and even.  Although I used both distress inks and dye inks in the process, it worked out.
