Feeling blue!

Firstly an apology that there isn't so much to see on my blog post today.  I had to go to a family funeral in London yesterday and am at work today (typing this in my coffee break). The funeral was a wonderful celebration of Aunt Didi's life. She died aged 95 and all the music and readings in the funeral were chosen by her, so the day really reflected her personality.  As it is Wednesday, here is my crafting desk at home as my submission to WOYWW. I have to confess that the photo was taken on Monday night when I was in the midst of chaos while trying a new ink technique, hence the ink pads, stamps, water spritzer, kitchen roll etc everywhere, and my trusty mug of tea hiding in the background.  Truth to tell my desk looks identical to this photo this morning, except that the mug is no longer there.

Here is the card I made with the inking technique. I learnt the technique from the Less is More site, adapted from Mandi and others descriptions.  In brief, I swiped my distress ink pads onto an acrylic block, then liberally spritzed with water and placed the block onto my card. With enough water all the inks run together to create a pale washed background.  Although you can't really tell from the final result, I actually used 4 different distress inks (2 blue and 2 green).  I then stamped the tree, birds and sentiment on the top, so that this card fits with this weeks Less is More and TioT 'anything goes' challenges.  That is all from me for now.  I am off to Somerset this weekend so probably wont be around until next week.  Have a great time everyone.
Love,
Caro
