Quick post this morning and a very early entry for me to this weeks Less is More challenge which is a one layer getting inky.
Thanks go to Chrissie and Mandi for this week providing me an excuse to try out a technique new to me. After seeing lots of beautiful cards using this idea it was always in the back of my mind to give it a go.
I used my Clear Mount Block size B and pressed it into my Crumb Cake ink pad then pressed it onto my Whisper White card blank. Each time I varied the pressure that I used. I then stamped Just Believe in Soft Suede. I lined up my sentiment from the same set using my Stamp-a-ma-jig. It was also stamped in Soft Suede.
I really enjoyed my first time experimenting with this technique and will definitely be trying it out again to see what other effects I can achieve.
Can I just say how much I enjoyed visiting other challenge entries last week, it was so interesting to find out about other people's flags and countries.
If you would like to try out the technique above then here's the supply list which you can order from myself at ails300@btinternet.com. I'd be happy to hear from you.

Hello Aileen
Susan from NZ here, saw your card on LIM and I love the monochromatic look, very impressed.

Gorgeous card!! Nice idea with the blocks.
I like the soft, subtle effect you've achieved with this technique - must have a play! Here's mine!
I don't have many clear stamps but I love my acrylic blocks for backgrounds! Yours is beautiful Aileen - a perfect background for the silhouetted flowers. Vx
