Today's card is all about Lil 'Inker Designs. I created the background by dabbing pink and blue Distress Stains on my craft mat with a little more force than normal (it was a stressful day at work). The ink splattered a bit and I liked the effect so just I laid the card front down on it until it soaked up the ink. I love the splotchy look! A patterned pinwheel, heart doily and sentiment strip wrapped around a lollipop stick finish the design.
More Valentine inspiration awaits! You can also see all of our projects together on our group Pinterest board.
I'm going to try my luck with the following challenges:
Moxie Fab World - make your own background paper
The Pink Elephant - hearts
Addicted to CAS - hearts
