Welcome
I had some studio time the other day, and started with inspiration gained from the Simply Less is More Challenge to use three colours or three shades of one colour, and a video tutorial I saw the other day, where using an acrylic block as a stamp was demonstrated.

The colours I chose were three distress inks, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Denim.
I started with the lightest ink and stamped a few paint splats in the lightest shade of ink.
I then stamped the blocks of colour using the side of the acrylic block and all three shades of ink.
The sentiment is an old one that I stamped in black ink.
A final look at the completed card.

I love the simplicty of this card!
Wonderful card- love the technique- how fun- gotta give this a go! I love the shades of Blue and the added splats of color- fab!
BEautiful design, Maxine but our rules that that you must use a rubber or digi stamp that you have hand colored in order to qualify at Aurora Wings. In fairness to all, I'm afraid it will have to be removed. I'm so sorry. Hope to see you again. xxD
Lovely card Maxine, thanks for joining us at Artistic Inspirations. Louise x
Fabulous card Maxine, wonderful colors.
I'm sorry that I'm SO late in visiting this week, but a new laptop and getting to know new systems has taken up a lot of time!
What fab inky effects!
Thanks so much
