Day 5 Card Class, Inking Tricks

Today we're playing with inks and inking techniques. This one comes from Laura Bassen. It's a "make your own ink pad" idea. I've seen this done before but have never tried it till now. I love it! 

I used the striped border stamp by My Creative Time from the Geo Borders stamp set, and Distress Reinkers in dusty concord, chipped sapphire, forest green, and weathered wood. 


"Awesome" word is by Technique Tuesday and "you are" is from a My Creative Time set. I added some twine and a few flat back pearl gems for fun.
