More of Less is More...

Hello Fair LIMettes,
Sarah back in the saddle after what feel like months away. Just two weeks actually but still, you get into a rhythm of joining in with Less is More and I have to say I feel all over the place after just a short absence of leave. Did you miss me?!! Having a staycation this week too which means lots of free time. Very surreal...indeed. I do need a summer break, but I am also the undisputed Queen of Faffing Around and definitely need some pressure and deadlines to whip my Mojo into action... You don't always have to feel creative and arty...sometimes it's good to just bite the bullet and get stuck in. So I did...

This week it's think ink. Might sound silly but I had to ponder for a few days as it's such a broad theme which could take many a path.
Even with cards, I like to have a concept to get my teeth into and let an idea grow. So, I asked myself what do I love about ink?

Four years ago I walked into a craft store and bought my first ever ink-pads and rubber stamps. Just inking up a stamp and seeing colours and images appear on paper still feels as good today as it did then. I stamped Tim Holtz's Floral Tattoo in white Stazon, dried it a little and then applied Wild Honey Distress ink with a blending tool. I played with the intensity of colour and then stamped a Hero Arts sentiment in Russet Archival ink. I love the detail in this stamp and can almost feel the warm glow from this wonderful colour!

So there we are...back on track with LIM which is a good start. I will be seeing you all again soon in Blogdom. Thanks very much for calling by and enduring my random thoughts. Off I must trot, I've got some faffing around to be getting on with...
Sarah.
