India Ink Background

I was playing around with my Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India Inks (more info on them here and here) and came up with a background with waves and squiggles of colour which reminded me a little of marbling. I decided to black emboss My Favorite Things Roses All Over Background on top and see what happened. I liked the look and made it into a card.


I die cut a circle from the embossed panel using MFT Circle Stax and heat embossed a sentiment from MFT Birthday Greetings. The card feels "artsy" to me so using MFT Snow Drifts Die I cut a curvy strip of yellow card stock and added on the front.

I'm entering this card for My Favorite Things You Could Be A Card Design Superstar.



Also for Simon Says Stamps Die Crazy Challenge here and Simon Says Stamp Love This Technique Challenge here.

Wishing you an inky day!

    Very bold, creative and fun. Loving the background with the inks behind and the curvy yellow strip sets the card off beautifully.
