I know I didn't join in the first Less is More Challenge cos I don't have any Aqua ink and I thought this time would be the same till I read someone using Stampin Up Pool Party, I have that. It also means I could use this beautiful Kaiser stamp originally I brought with the idea to use it on a layout.
So used a versamark pad and white embossing powder in hindsight I could of just used clear powder. Then using a blending tool put the ink over the image.
The fun part was using the inkpad with a paintbrush and added more colour to the flowers and part the bicycle.
It such a shame that a camera doesn't pick up the bicycle that well I suppose really I should of stamped with black so it could be seen better but I have the one in RL and love how it turned out.
Its official I have moved out of my Craft Room the cold spell is going to continue into the weekend and I've had enough.

Oh my this is amazing Debby ...
Love it ;o)
This is beautiful Debbie, really beautiful. Love the design. Kathleen x
This is terrific Debby, actually the first challenge wasn't aqua... merely a colour challenge, so this was a repeat of the theme rather than the actual colour.
You have achieved a fab effect with this one!
I think I need some Poll Party ink too!
Thanks so much
