Stretch Your Stamps 2 - Card Class

It's been a couple of years since I've done a post, so I thought I'd start my blog again with the cards I've been making as part of the Online Card Class - Stretch Your Stamps (2). 
 
I am totally back into card making and the wonderful ideas and inspiration I've received from the class have been great.

Here are 2 cards I've made using Background Stamps ideas.  I heat embossed the background stamps with white embossing powder and then sponged on distress ink on the pink/yellow card (left).  On the green/orange card (right), I applied distress inks to my craft mat, spritzed with water and dipped the watercolor paper into the mixture.  Love this technique!!
