We made lovely cards this morning in our workshop using Andy Skinner's layered drip ink technique. It was a little messy but with fantastic results.

We used Izink spray inks , water, bleach and distressed inks for colouring.

The stamp we used in the workshop was "Dance like nobody's watching ". For other designs visit us in store or check out our website.

 Spring is in the Air.........with all the spring flowers popping up in the garden we thought we would use the John Lockwood stamp set - Primrose. We know that it is an older stamp set but it worked perfectly with these cards and the stitched edge ribbon weaved added the finishing touch.
