I inked a square acrylic block with Memento dandelion, tangelo, and rosebud. I spritzed it with water and then inked directly onto the card base. I stamped the cattail and sentiment in Memento rich cocoa.
It's addicting to make these ink splodges, for lack of a better word, as you never know exactly how they will turn out. Each one is slightly different. My favorite is the first one that I have matted white on white.
Thanks for visiting!

Oh this is just beautiful...actually, every version you made is beautiful! I agree, I like the colors for PDCC on this card even though you could have gone blue and green. Wonderful splotches of ink...I need to try that!
I like the white on white too! Love the different variations, though! So fun! Love the colors you chose to use! Thanks for joining us at CASology this week! :)
Ann, these are fantastic, all of them! I'll be having a go a this technique
So beautiful - love that background technique - I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
These are just Fabulous! Great technique and design:)
I love these colours - like a gorgeous fleeting sunset :) Perfect with the sentiment. I've wanted to try this technique for ages but I'd *gasp* have to clean my blocks first. Funny how long I've managed to put that off!
all the cards are wonderful, but i have to agree with you that the first is the best! fantastic design... so glad to see you playing along with CASology!! :)
Awesome use of colour and fab take on the pond theme! LoVe them all!!
Love how you did the background! Beautiful card!! Thanks for joining us this week at The Play Date Cafe.
All of these are beautiful! I never had very good luck with inking the blocks. These make me want to try again!

Love your cards, the yellows and pinks are so pretty. Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!
Love how this turned out. I had been trying that way but my blocks just weren't looking right so I went direct to paper.
Definitely going to need to try again as I love how your card is CAS but packs a punch. Thanks for sharing!
It's PERFECT in those colors! I haven't made splotches of ink in a long time...thanks for inspiring me!
