Little inky heaven. My one-layer card required the use of 4 different shades of purple. I didn't even know I had that many! I borrowed Susan's, a.k.a. LateBlossom's, favourite layout for this card. I used my quilt ruler and gridded acrylic block to line up my image from MFP's Flower Blocks and then emboss them in clear powder. If you look carefully, I still don't think it's perfectly lined up. Grrrr. I then sponged in my inks. I thought it would make a fabulous sympathy card but I've noticed a big hole in my stamp collection. All my sympathy stamps are small. I thought this sentiment from MFP's Hydrangea was a good alternative. Please come join us for Speedy Fox and Friend's challenge to emboss in white and then sponge a background.
