Guest Designer Series, part 3

Our next guest designer is Julie Lassalle. She played around with one of my favorite techniques and is giving you a step-by-step below so you guys can give it a try too. Here is her lovely card:

Pool Party card stock was cut into a 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece. Mint Macroon and Pool Party inks were "stamped" onto clear block E into random patterns to avoid harsh lines. Ink was then spritzed with rubbing alcohol with a few drops of the Champagne Mist shimmer paint, from a Stampin' Spritzer. Clear block was then tilted back and forth to run the ink and further blur any harsh lines. Scrap of Pool Party card stock was then placed on top of block and pressed down to transfer ink to card stock. Carefully remove from block, set aside and let dry. 

When dry, stamped paper was trimmed to 4" x 3" to avoid any blank edges. Images from Enjoy Life set were stamped in Night of Navy from left to right on bottom of stamped paper. Image was stamped three times bringing the stamp down each time it was stamped, to create a "stepped' effect. Sentiment and small butterfly were stamped in upper right hand corner, and a small butterfly was stamped in the upper left hand corner. This scrap of paper was adhered to a 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" sheet of Pool Party card stock. These pieces were then adhered to Night of Navy card stock cut to 8 1/2" x 5" and scored at 4 3/8" to allow for a shorter front to the card. The bottom front edge of the card was then torn to create a "frayed" look.
