Sketch Challenge @ Inky!
Here’s my card for this week’s Inky Antics sketch challenge. While recently shopping at the local scrapbooking store, I noticed this printed paper, and remembered the images I had received during retreat at our ‘image swap’! I think I was right … the perfect paper for this stamp, called “Martini Girl”, by Inky Antics.
To enhance the feeling of the bubbles, I dry embossing the printed paper with my Cuttlebug folder from eclectic Paperie! You can also find the Inky Antics ‘Girly Girls’ collection there too! Tex’s Tip: If you need a specific ribbon color that simply doesn’t appear in your collection, pull organdy ribbon between your ink pad and the sponge you’re using to hold the ribbon tightly against the ink pad. Repeat until the color is the intensity you need! Yes … your fingers will be a bit inky! Next, use a light touch with your heating tool to heat set the ink color into the ribbon.
