Make Your Life Colourful

Hi everyone, for today’s post I created a set of cards using the ubercute Kennedy Grace Creations “Sweet Baby Mine” stamp set.

Then I used a Kite Stencil called “Gum Wapper Weav” and a foam applicator tool with Memento’s “Lulu Lavender” and Distress Ink “Dusty Concord” to create an ombre effect. I spritzed with some water to create a little bit of a distressed lo
