I did make a card- it was quick and easy and it's just one layer, stamped directly onto the card blank- usually these are NOT quick or easy for me- something always goes wrong- but this time it worked. I inked up my large splat stamp with Distress Oxides, spritzed with water then laid the card blank on top and pressed down, a bit like using a Gelli plate. This meant that the inks didn't run off the stamp and drip everywhere (which is what has happened previously- maybe I'm a bit too generous with the spritzing :). I dried it with my heat gun then stamped the image and sentiment (Visible Image) on top using Versafine Clair ink. Finished. It took about 5 minutes start to finish.
I was inspired by beautiful photos of my 2 eldest granddaughters taken on a beach, at sunrise, during the early part of the Lockdown.
Thanks for visiting today

That is awesome Chris! Someone asked me for a TikTok card recently and I really didn't know what to do so I said to her I wasn't sure but would give it a go and when did she need it for - never came back to me but your card is along the lines of where my thoughts were going! Great minds eh?
