When Tim introduced his new color Uncharted Mariner, he also passed along some really useful stamping tips, as always.  I used one of them on the background below . . .

Tim said to have fun inking your stamp with Distress sprays:  spritz your craft mat with a spray, dip in the stamp, and apply.  The result will be an instant watercolor look!   He was right . . . can’t wait to try this with scores of other colors and images.

I used a dark ink for this card and it rather overwhelmed my focal point die cut.  So I added a vellum panel over the background and it worked beautifully.
