Using ink in a way that...
...I haven't really tried before. That is for the Less is More challenge. Actually, the whole challenge is to make a one layer card using ink in a new way or an old favorite way. I kinda combined both aspects of this challenge regarding the ink. I used my Distress Inks which are my all time favorite "go to" inks....I absolutely love the intensity of color that I get from them. Then my "using ink in a new way" is to mask off a "window using post it notes and just keeping the color in a prism like rectangle shape. I never mask and this particular card was really different for me. I like it alot though and think I will try this technique again. The leaf stamp is Hero Arts Delicate Leaf Cluster and I think that this might be the first time I have ever inked it up! I also am entering this card into the Cas-ual Friday's Challenge #15. I don't think that I have ever entered either of these challenges before....so this is me....stretching my wings ;-D
really neat card, sheila!
ReplyDeleteLove your inking and stamping, Sheila!! The colors are so striking! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!!
ReplyDeleteWow, now is this ever a stunning piece of art! I can almost see the mountains and the sky, the sunset. Not sure if that was what you were going for but I love it when I see something in someone's card so artistic. I'm from Wisconsin too (central), it is so nice to visit someone else that lives here!
ReplyDeleteSimply elegant...
