Less Is More Playing With Ink

They are playing with inks at Less Is More this week so as I've just bought some Distress Stain Dabbers I thought I would use those. I dabbed some worn lipstick, scattered straw, victorian velvet, rusty hinge and tattered rose onto some paper then pressed my white card blank onto it. I then stamped the image and sentiment.
The stamps that I've used are
Dina Wakley/Stampington for the main image, I love this stamp.
Creative Expressions Dream set for the sentiment.

    Beautiful Hazel. Wish I could do the clean and simple look as effectively but it's not an easy look to manage - you have perfected it here.
