At last, a sunny day to enjoy my stamping nook and enter a couple of challenges after two weeks of unexpected snow and power outages. I recently purchased the original MISTI because my Concord & 9th turnabout stamps and wreath building sets were not getting out of the bin often. Using a mini Misti is awkward with these larger sets. After watching Kristina Werner's Friday series on ink blending with Distress Oxide inks, I also wanted to experiment with color and turnabouts make that fun! This first card fits the current Color Throwdown #353 challenge using gray, purple, lavender and kraft.

Concord & 9th Wreath Turnabout

I haven't really looked at those Turn-about stamps. After seeing your beautiful wreaths, I think I need to look into them! (Lovely photos of the snow and mountains.)
