Here's another card from the excellent
Sheena Douglass workshop I did at the weekend, this was learning how to get shading with only one colour of Distress Ink. The background paper with the embossing isn't black; we inked it heavily with Black Soot Distress Ink, it also has a double stamped flower swirl that is then embossed. The flowers have Cosmic Shimmers on top of PVA glue. The original version shown to us had a pristine white sentiment that stood out nicely on the card. Unfortunately I got a big black fingerprint on mine so it ended up being inked LOL!
This card is for the following challenges:
Crafts & Me - monochrome
Crafty Creations - heat embossing
A Spoonful of Sugar - Valentine
My Time to Craft - embossing
Crafty Cardmakers - floral
Pile it on - love is in the air
Sugar Creek Hollow - black, white and a splash of colour
Alphabet Challenge - L is for Lady

Oh you've got me singing now, lol. This is fabulous. I love my distress inks too. And I have to say I can't count the number of times I've had to 'distress' because of ink finger prints! Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers this week. xx
