Stampin' With The Dragon Challenge #12

This fortnight the challenge over at Stampin' With The Dragon is use an inking technique.We're sponsered by Stitchy Bear Stamps who are offering the winner 5 digi stamps of their choice from Stitchy Bear and Trees Stamps. The DT have used a mixture of stamps from both designers (you can see their fantastic creations on both the challenge blog and their individual blogs which are listed in my sidebar).

I chose Little Joey from Trees for my card. Yet again this is an image I would've preferred to water colour, but wasn't able to due the inks in my printer! grrr

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and the background has been inked with Distress Inks and Versamark Brilliance. The base card has been embossed with my new Sizzix embossing folder and I've then sanded it to reveal the coloured core. The sentiment has been computer generated.

Tools
Sizzix Bigshot
Tim Holtz Sizzix Embossing Folder
Tim Holtz Blender
Basic Grey Sanding Tools
