LIM Challenge - Week 28 - One Layer - Inks













Have now returned from my very quick (but very enjoyable) long weekend away in UK. My son and his wife were very suprised to see us and the look on their faces was a picture. Felix's 1st Birthday Party was a huge success.




When I logged on this morning to the LIM Challenge I thought "NO don't do inks" but having had a think about it I came up with this. Hammered Cream Card A6 landscape. I cut a piece of card with a scalloped edge and used it as a mask both sides and just dragged the ink pad along as the card is hammered it picked up the "bumps" I then used Tim Holtz distressed Ink Crushed Olive as recommended by sister Di and stamped the grape vine. Don't really know what I am doing with these stamp pads but had a nice time playing. Off to play some more.

Thanks for looking at

    Using the ink pad directly onto the card has worked really well. I am not so brave and always end up using a sponge. Lovely effect on the textured card.
