Ahoy There!

Well I've been trying to think of different ways to use my ink for a few days now and at one point I have very purple fingers from leaky Adirondack Eggplant colour wash... I was about to give up completely when this weeks challenge at Passion for promarkers gave me some inspiration (even though I can't enter as I didn't use them lol).  Here's my little pirate.....



I've painted the image with distress inks and then also used an inkylicious duster around the edges to age the card stock further and then I also gave it a bit of a sand too.... lol..

Inspiration:
Less Is More: #28 One Layer with Ink in a new way....
Polly Craft Monday: #106 Distressing
Charisma Cardz: #33 Negative Space

Card Recipe:
Image: Polly craft
Tim Holtz Distress inks: Frayed Burlap, barn door, tattered rose, crushed olive, faded jeans, black soot
Sentiment: PC A Little Pot
Bakers Twine: CES

Hope you have all had a great week.. I'm not sure how it is Thursday already :-(
