My fear of ink...

I used our latest challenge 'Ink Technique' over at Let's Craft and Create to try and overcome my fear of getting inky.
After a lot of experimenting (and cursing lol!) I came up with this card.  I used the trees from the Signature Christmas set from Clearly Besotted Stamps , to build a background stamped with silver metallic ink then over stamped 'Joy' with alphabet stamps and black ink.
The other DT girls have come up with some fabulous cards for this challenge, pop on over to the blog and take a look.
Speaking of Clearly Besotted Stamps, Stephanie is celebrating their 1st birthday with a Birthday Blog Hop,  I'm off to check it out!
