Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

LCC #80 – Ink Technique

The subject for this fortnights Let's Craft and Create challenge is ink technique. I decided to go for ink blending with drops of water splashed onto it for a bit of interest and texture. The purple version didn't turn out quite how I wanted, the colours are a little muddy and grey, I am  much happier with the pink version. The inspiration for the layout comes from Kristina Werner (love her stuff),  thanks Kristina.

Come and join us here for the challenge and check out what the rest of the talented design team have come up with.
