Inky Pinky


Here's the second baby card I made yesterday.

I had a new set of Avery Elle stamps on my desk , awaiting their first inking, when I discovered there was an Avery Elle challenge 'pink'.  The elephant and 'hello' are Avery Elle stamps ( elephant is coloured with markers) , the clouds are Inky Doodles and the sentiment is Stampin Up. I inked the back panel using orchid Brilliance ink and then stamped that drippy background (Hero ) using raspberry. I then spray it with pearlised water for a more distressed look.

Actually I should rename this blog 'My tragic craft life' as this is the second version of the card I made. The first time, just as I was adding the sentiment as the finishing touch, I dropped the black ink pad and got it all over it!

I'd like to enter:

      Good morning Sandie! Was busy inviting Ink GDs when I saw your message. First I coloured the panel with the paler ink and then this is the stamp I used:

      Then I sprayed the top bit with pearlised water to give it a sheen and a bit of a watery effect.

    My tip, use this background stamp a lot! Love it! Such a lovely card for a young girl.
    Comforting to hear that others mess up too...

    This is lovely, especially like the background, it's like pink grunge!
