Hi EVERYONE! It is Iliana, and I get to kick off MISTI May-nia. There are two of us posting today so that means there are two chances to win a Mini MISTI.
Today's card is using Taylored Expressions Zinnia stamp set.
I used watercolors to create my background. I used my MISTI to stamp on the coordinating dies. It was easy to make multiples once the die and stamped were lined up. Here is a variation of the same card.
The bottom layer was a piece of patterned 6 x 6 paper from my stash. I used stitched rectangles from Lawn Fawn for my layers.
Be sure to leave a comment to enter the giveaway. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to see up and coming videos. Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to go and see what Ilina Crouse has created.
