ALTENEW IRRESISTIBLE INKING TECHNIQUES

      I took inspiration from Lesson 4, 

"Brayers and Inkpads". 

The Green bottom layer was made with a brayer.

I used a small brayer and Altenew Forest Glade 

Crisp Dye Ink to color the bottom layer and inked

the sides using that ink cube also.

I next used Coral Berry to "scrubble" the pink layer

and also to ink the sides.

Next, using the brush flower and leaf from

the Embroidered Blooms stamp set, I used 

Jet Black StayOn ink so that I could 

watercolor without smearing the outline.

As you can see I didn't quite 

match the flower to the stem. 

I made up for that mistake by using the ink

cubes as water colors and painted 

in the connection.

I used frayed leaf to color the stem and leaf

and Coral Berry for the flower.

After stamping the sentiment

all layers were adhered

to a slim line white card base.

Despite having injured my back

shoveling snow I truly enjoyed

working on this card.

instead of cleaning my craftroom

as I had planned ! LOL
