I am using the newly released Block Letters. I did some masking and ink blending using some of the newest inks released – Pacific Blue and Dark Storm. I then coloured the the shadows of the letters using some Delicata gold ink.
Look how the gold shines under the light!
Now hop over to the crazy talented Debby Hughes to see what she created with these adorable stamps!
