To Ink or Not to Ink....that is the question


Hi Folks.....not only did I make a bit of a blunder with my image for this week's Penny Black Saturday DT card....I had a real dilemma......it took all my willpower not to get inking the edges with my favourite Tim Holtz Distress Ink....Brushed Corduroy and blending tool which are a permanent fixture on my desk....but a challenge is a challenge so... WHITE ON WHITE it was.....but it was driving me mad..what would it look like with inky edges....so here is the burning question.....TO INK OR NOT TO INK....
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

BEFORE


AFTER


And check out this cuddly dude.....yes I couldn't resist.....one of the new Penny Black Slapstick Stamps.....exactly the same as the Hero Arts Clings...but who on earth came up with the name "Slapstick".....OK you slap it on an acrylic block and it sticks....BUT....it just doesn't sound right



and would you believe the Christmas Box has been well and truly raided again.....so on a rainy Friday afternoon I set to work.....mega production line...and I need to find a hidely hole for said box or I fear it will be M&S Christmas Cards again this year.....oh the shame!!!


Tell me what you think about the INKY question and at the end of the week I will chose a name at random and send you all the bits and bobs to make the SNOWMAN card....along with some extra images and little goodies.  Catch up with you all tomorrow for a challenge card or two.
