Hello friends! I hope y'all had a good weekend - it's hard to believe summer is nearly over.
I got the e-mail notification that the SSS Wildflowers stamp set was back in stock so I pulled it out to create more cards with it as it's been a favorite of mine for some time (see my playlist HERE that has several videos using it). Since I wanted to make more Halloween cards I decided to incorporate another very non-Halloween set just like I did in the first video of this year's Halloween series.

I created some ink blended panels using Distress Oxide inks over Simon's smooth white card stock. I then clear heat embossed the Wildflowers stamps over those backgrounds, and added Black Soot Oxide ink over it. This technique has been called all sorts of things over the years but I think the original name for it (from waaaaayyyy back in the day) is the Joseph's Coat Technique. It's easy and fun!
I added some shimmer with the Empty Tomb and Flickering Candle Mica Spray Stains, and a sentiment from the Spook Up Some Halloween Fun stamp set.
The Flickering Butterflies were die cut from Simon's Black Glitter paper.
I inked up the Wildflowers images with the same Oxide inks using Simon's Blending Brushes, added another sentiment from the Spook Up Some Halloween Fun set and the remaining butterflies. I paired the cards with some Black Metallic Envelopes and that was it!
