It's my turn to host this week's technique challenge. I came across this new to me technique - Inked Die Cuts by Becca at Amazing Paper Grace. Follow the link for a tutorial. It's a very messy technique, but I am glad I tried it and really like the results. It looks like many, many layers. It did take me 4 tries before I got the hang of it! If you just can't get the hang of it, I am offering an alternate technique, to sponge ink on the die cut while it is still in the die to shade around your image or sentiment and give you a clean white/light border.
And don't forget to check out our Guest Designer for the month of February - Melissa Hubert!
Cardstock used: Gina K Pure Luxury White and Little Boy Blue, and blue striped dp from my stash.
I used Memento Luxe Nautical Blue ink to ink my dies, stamp the polka dots and stamp the sentiment by SU.
I love this darling little boat from Gina K's Oh Boy! Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Touch Twin Markers. Cut it out and popped it up.
