LIM Cats

The Less is More challenge this week is a one layer card and we have to use inks. I've used a Craft UK card blank, a small square. I used a Home and Hearts cats stamp by Create-It and stamped it in Memento black ink. I masked the cats and distressed the background using Distress Ink in old paper. I then used yellow and red inks to spray on top of the distressing. I've got big bottles of these inks that my husband used to use for technical drawings, have no idea of the make because I decanted into small sprays! They will last me for ever.
