The other night I tried out a technique that I'd seen in a recent issue of Stamper's Sampler. I started by smearing ink onto pieces of watercolor paper, then spritzing the inked papers with water. I let the water droplets sit on the paper for a few seconds before blotting with a paper towel. I let the papers dry completely before stamping them for cards. I think they turned out pretty neat. 
The buttons are from my recent excursion to the Hillsville flea market and the rick rack is from the parents' attic.
