Another bit of inky fun...

I shared with you in this post that I had won 10 new ink pads from My Favorite Things via Kathy Racoosin's blog, The Daily Marker.

I decided to use a number of these inks on a card where I simply let the inks shine as the focal point. No stamped image (other than the sentiment) and (almost) no other embellishments.

I hand-cut a mask with a curved edge and just started laying it across a piece of cardstock and sponging away with the ink color of my choice. After the first color was laid on, I moved my mask down and sideways a bit and added the next color until I reached the bottom. Easy peasy!

Once that was done, I stamped my sentiment with Versamark and heat-embossed with some black embossing powder. A simple black mat, and I was done (or so I thought!).

After looking at the above photo, I decided I needed to add one little black embellishment for interest, so here is what I did:

What do you think? With or without it? Maybe I should have added something else in black instead--like a silhouette die-cut. Any ideas? I'd like to try this card again, so I appreciate any and all advice. :)

The inside of my card is as simple as can be - just a black mat and a stamped sentiment. I wanted plenty of room to write a personal note to Kathy, thanking her for such a fabulous giveaway.

Hope your week is going well. I can't believe it is half over already. The older I get, the faster I get older!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
