Once more we are back to the second week of the month and so our challenge is for a
ONE LAYER CARD
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 revisited a technique that I haven't used in forever after seeing the subject of the LIM challenge for this week.
I got out my brayer & a set of inks that I have hardly used & experimented with the different colourways & positioning on the page.
The inks are lovely & vibrant but unfortunately the camera hasn't picked it up very well.
For this card I placed the strip to the right & stamped using blue Stazon ink adding the sentiment straight onto the card as it's a one layer challenge.
I stamped the images slightly over the inked area for added contrast.
In this card the image is contained within the inked strip.
This reminds me of those 1970's posters :-)
and stamped the sentiment straight onto the card underneath the image.
a different colourway .....
again with the image stamped slightly over the edge.
The last placement was a rectangle in the middle of the card
and stamped the sentiment onto it
I used the same inks to colour the image of the castle using cotton buds as 'brushes' using in the main the same colours as the background.
Throughout I used post it notes to mask off the areas that I needed to protect from the ink.
I've had fun playing this week :-)
