I really enjoyed using OCL cling mount rubber stamps to make this card. First I put a mask down over patterned paper and applied broken china distress ink with a blending tool. I removed the mask and stamped the flowers with the same broken china ink. I love layering inks this way for a subtle look. I stamped the sentiment, the same flowers on the paper flower, and added color to the distressed edges with tea dye distress ink. The flower is folded in half over a loop of linen thread. I like to add a hint of bling to brighten up a distressed card. These gems do the trick.

Very Lovely!
At first I thought... too subtle for me.. but the more I looked at it.. the more beautiful and unsubtle it looked. I know SO many people who would love to receive a card like this. Gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful card!

Oh what a great technique Tami. Guess I have gotten in a lazy happen of using masks to spray on ink but you are so right this is so soft! It is terrific to see a distress card that is not heavy or dark! Lovely card Tami...thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous card! Awesome technique!
What a beautiful card! Love this technique--guess I have gotten into a rut using masks only for spraying on inks. Love the layer on printed this lovely printed paper! Thanks for sharing!...Jan

oh, it's so lovely! I still have the TH masks I bought and haven't used them--you make me want to dig them out to try!
Tami, your card is gorgeous -- I love the colors and all of the subtle touches you added! Thanks for letting the Shackies know about the HOP!
Gorgeous card!!
This card is peaceful and lovely to look at. I have yet to use Broken China and I love the color here. You have inspired me to break away from my same ole color palette.
Just love this one! It's fabulous!
