In which I get to play with inks

Helloo there, I hope this day finds you well? Over at the Craft Barn Blog we have been playing with inks and I got to use Versamark and Versacolor along with some Versamagic, all great inks and for lots of different purposes.
Here I used Versamark and mica powder brushed gently over the top, versamark is brilliant and quite sticky so the mica powder adhered beautifully.
This was using Versamagic a chalky opaque ink great for coverage and on dark card, I used 2 shades a pink and a soft green unfortunately the sun was so weak it doesn't show in the photos.
 This card shows how Versamark watermark ink can work on it's own. This is a very simple card made really quickly with just two stamps. The text is from Crafty Secrets Bathing Beauties and is in Versafine, Onyx Black.


For my last card I inked up in Versafine, Deep Lagoon, a gorgeous rich teal, I love it!!! Same stamp set  turned sideways with stamps from Crafty Indviduals as well.

Thank you for looking and see you soon, Have a great weekend Gay x
