This is my first sample using Indra and Mystic swirl and Dream word from the inspire me set.

The background was made by applying distress oxide with a damp sponge, dabbing one colour then drying before adding second colour. I coloured Indra with mica powders mixed with water. Then stamped mystic swirl around edge, finally added word, once topper was mounted onto card. 

For my next sample I used my scan n cut to cut out the egg shape.

I then used the center piece to make my background on. 

the background was made using distress oxides. then stamped images in versafine onyx black, stamped the flowers second generation.  

 Stamps used for this card: 

Woodland Hares, Vine Flourish, and seed heads

For this sample I blended distress oxide onto smooth card. stamped Indra and Dream word with black onyx verafine ink, dapped different colour oxide onto the mystic swirl stamp to get a rainbow effect and stamped with water. 

I also blended oxide inks onto this background, stamped all images with black versafine. once dry coloured fairy lantern set, with orange sparkle pen. Highlighted Dragon keepers wings with clear  gelli roll pen. stamped summers ebb verse.

For this background i smooched the card into blue distress ink and water, once dry I inked the outer part of the card with mustard seed oxide. stamped Tree of dreams with brown clair ink, then using a scrap piece of paper grounded the tree. Stamped the Wild hares small set  with black versamark ink, stamped Words of spring with brown clair ink, highlighted tree with orange gelli  pen
