Ink Thumping

Hi Crafting friends,

 I made this card for a recent swap challenge it was called ink thumping. Although I have been a card maker for over 20 years I have never tried this technique.

Thank goodness for google search, obviously it is an old technique as it uses water based ink pens, which I used to have for colouring but now have alcohol makers for my colouring. 

I actually have used distress inks for my thumping, I thumped or more the lighter coloured ink onto the stamp and while it was still wet I added the darker colour before stamping it onto my card. You can notice it more of the green stem that the flower. It was a fun way to add layers of colour to your stamped images.

Thanks for stopping by today.
