Over at LIM this week Mandi and Chrissie have challenged us to get all inky,
Once more we are back to the second week of the month and so our challenge is for a
ONE LAYER CARD
If you are not sure of the principles of this genre, do check out our Guidelines at the top of our blog.
The special feature we would like to see this week is for you to
USE INK
** This does include ink pads **
** This does include ink pads **
...hopefully in a way you haven't tried before.... or using a favourite technique.
I had a great time with this one and chose to use Andy Skinners inky technique This is fun, he has a video so pop over and check it out if you have a minute:0) I turned the card on it's side and marbled it just on that side, let it dry and then stamped the Graphic 45 Cling Le Circ2 . What was really interesting was the Copics I used to colour were taking the coloured ink down and I got a lift that was totally unsuspected but very welcome. You can see it on the leaves and the yellow of the ladies dress sleeves.I have a feeling there maybe more attempts at this challenge, I love getting inky, Great challenge again ladies, Thanks! I have photos of the inside but although interesting I think I'm going to cover it up with a liner, the Copics bled through :{
I've had a very busy crafty weekend but I can't share any of it yet, sorry. At the Craft Barn Blog we have something quite interesting coming up in the next few weeks and I think you may want to play along, I'll keep you posted TTFN Have a wonderful week all :0)

Hi Kay, love the marbelling effect. I have found that using promarkers over the distress inks seems to split the alcohol inks into different hues, although all I have had so far is 'mud'. I am wondering whether a pearlescent card will allow the alcohol ink to sit on top instead of bleeding through? I will see if I have some in my stash and give it a go. Wonderful card, and I do like the stamp. Lynn x
I just checked out that video and that's a really cool technique. Love how your card turned out!
Gorgeous card! I love the marbling effect and I actually think the inside looks pretty cool! Maria x
