Topflight Stamps - Inky Backgrounds

 Hi Everyone,

This week we are focusing on ink at the Topflight blog. I choose to use Lavinia Elements inks for my cards. For all of them I used Mermaid and Sahara. Those inks are super juicy, they react with water and they come in great colors!

For the first card I directly inked up an acrylic block with those two inks and sprayed it with water. Pressed it onto the paper.

For the second card I used whatever ink remained on the block and did a second impression on regular card stock.

For my third card I brayered the inks onto the acrylic block and spritzed water onto the block and then pressed it into the paper.

I used various stamps to "decorate" my cards - see below. I also drew a frame around the inky impression on the second and third cards.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.
