Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by! I have a quick and easy card to share with you today - it was so much fun playing around with ink...and so easy to get such a vibrant background. I have used a piece left from the card I created HERE. The beauty of this technique is you can create a full page of it and then cut it as you want to for cards or other projects.
I used watercolour paper and spritzed it lightly with water, adding drops of ink from 4 different reinkers. I have to be honest and say that at first I was not a fan of what was happening but decided to keep going and I am glad I did!
I spritzed with water while adding inks and it helped with the ink moving round - which made quite a difference - but the real 'Star of the Show' was stamp cleaner - I added drops to the inked paper and watched the magic happen - lightly dabbing the results with Baby Wipes and that was it - easy and I can't wait to try it with other colours - maybe monochromatic - there is no limit!
The sentiment is computer generated and adhered to the lower portion of the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L foam tape. The card front is trimmed and embossed using the Spellbinders Wedding Ring Stitch Em-bossing Fold'ers Quilt It by Lene Lok and adhered onto slightly larger black card stock followed by a white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.
