hi there,
Here is my card for the F4A challenge; Just Ink. My card was created using my two favourite inks....Memento and Distress inks.
I used a stencil and applied Distress ink over that to created the bkg. I then inked up the flowers with Distress inks and sprayed with water before stamping for a watercolour effect.
Thanks for looking,

This is so beautiful. I love the shades of blue that you used and the light stenciled bkg looks so good. The water color effect on the flowers is perfect.
