Just add ink!

Hi, running a bit late today...just one of those mornings! Seemed to to take ages to get anything done, probably nattering on the phone for ages didn't help much :)
My card today is for our new challenge at Fab'n' Funky, it's my turn to host this week and I chose the theme of 'just add ink'...so ink pads, stamps stencils, markers...the possibilities are endless :))
I've had this gorgeous Lavinia stamp for a while and thought it about time to show it the ink. I made the background by applying Distress oxides directly to a large silicone 'splat' stamp (Inkylicious) and spritzing it with water to mix the inks a bit, then splatting it directly onto white cardstock, then stamping the image with Versafine Clair on top. I added some bling and a sentiment stamp.
I kept the card design very simple, placing my image in the aperture of the embossed black cardstock.
Please hop over to Fab'n'Funky to see the fabulous creations from my lovely teamies, then I hope you'll be inspired to play along!
Thanks for visiting
Enjoy your day
xx

    Beautiful card, Chris! The soft "splat" background makes a great contrast with the gorgeous eye stamp. Of course with an eye like that, it just HAS to have some bling!!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us at Watercooler Wednesday!!! -Donna
