Been playing with my distress inks again. Mr Green Inked the card, put it through the bug and then lightly sanded the surface. Stamped the clocks and the thinner one is 3D'd over the round one.

Normal card works but I am using coredinations more at the moment where the core of the paper contrasts to the main colour.

Great card Lou and see what you mean about great minds

This is normal card. Also, because you can layer these inks, when it's sanded it brings the bottom colour of ink to the fore as well as white where only one layer of ink is used.
