I actually used one of Kristina's techniques- fingerinking on the die cut embellishment. The technique is simple in that you press an ink pad onto a craft mat (my Ranger girl, Brandy, gave me one like this) and spray a tiny bit of water creating a type of watercolor ink. Then, you use your fingers and dab the mixture on the paper. I also used Glimmer Mist for the same process layering on color to create this rich color. I simply sprayed the mist onto the craft mat, didn't add water, and used the resulting mixture just like the stamp pad ink. I tried a couple of times to create a lighter, more varied result and in the end chose this version I fussed over with quite a few layers of color. I will confess my poor picture taking skills doesn't do this card justice. Fingerinking is a new trick that I intend to use over and over again.
