I absolutely love this technique as being my most favorite of all the ones I have tried. I am calling it Grandma's Swirl because of the softness that is created. I love hues of browns and ivory and find this to be perfect for the Dynamic Duos challenge. I got my inspiration for the drape of color and lusciousness of frosting from the challenge in the photo at Just Us Girls. This is a variation for the Mojo Monday Sketch. I used the label under the main block to mimic their design. I think I love it the most because the color combination is foolproof. For this particular technique you do not choose a palette of colors but rather you are surprised at what colors emerge from the ONE reinker that you apply. For this card I used nothing more than one color reinker and all these variations of browns came out of that. I love it! This is not the quartz technique and it is not the shaving cream technique either.
If you look carefully I used another technique to create the raised embellishment. That is done with the new Simply Scored Borders Plate. I will submit this card for NEW TOYS! I hope you like the look.
