Less is More - one layer and ink
The challenge this week at Less is More is a one layer card using ink, preferably in a way that is new or different to usual. I've spent several days thinking about it, and finally came up with this:
I stamped and clear embossed the agapanthus cluster (Stampendous) and then 'swiped' memento ink in angel pink, lulu lavender and summer sky. I've not done much swiping before, and to be honest, that random edge of ink makes me feel just a little bit uncomfortable! I then ironed the image using a sheet of kitchen towel to remove the embossing and leave a batik effect image. Finally I added the sentiment (Inkylicious).
Thanks for looking!

Well it looks like all that thinking paid off Sally, this is gorgeous and I just live the edge of the inking... it's a great faux batik card!

Great technique and a lovely card, Sandra
This is lovely Sally. The colours are really pretty and I think you've made a fab job of the swiping. I always like the effect when others use it but somehow mine never looks right.

The combination of the FAB agapanthus image and your colour choice for your "swiping" turned out so very well
