Welcome to the first day of the June Hop at Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps a HC!  Today's feature is "Need a Vacation".  For my first card I heat embossed the flower then pressed distress ink directly on craft mat.  I used two colors: TH Mustard Seed and Victorian Velvet.  I should have used more Victorian Velvet because you can barely see it on the lower right petal.  I spritzed the ink with water and then placed my panel over the wet ink. After it was dry I sponged the edges with Victorian Velvet to mellow out the yellow a bit.  Mustard Seed is REALLY bright!  :)
 For my second card I used a different water color technique.  I used TH distress markers and water.

    Interesting use of techniques on these and lovely cards. The bright yellow does make you think of sunny holidays so was a good choice. Love the palm trees
