Today my cards feature
Ikat Additions, a mini set of smaller ikat images
Ikat Additions, a mini set of smaller ikat images
that work with Ikat Clear Photopolymer Stamps or on their own.
My first card uses the small "V" shaped image, stamped diagonally
like arrowheads along with the sentiment from The Man Clear Photopolymer Stamps.
I used Delicata Golden Glitz pigment ink that is just so gorgeous, it doesn't need any embossing.
The yummy brown cardstock is one of the new colors for the month--Truffle.
My next two cards feature a non traditional way of using ikat--as flowers.
I thought two of the images looked like flowers and stems so I inked them up
in various ink colors and stamped them on smaller A1 sized cards.
Both sentiments are from a NEW stamp set being released in mid June.
