One Layer Wednesday



It's been ages since I have participated in OLW, it's a great shame because I've just spent an hour remembering why I loved it! (To be fair it would have been shorter had I not had to deal with my son pooing where he shouldn't - I hate potty training!)


This week's challenge puts a real twist on OLW! Jennifer has challenged us to create 3 cards using the same stamp but changing the occasion on each of the stamps.  I recently received a stamp freebie in with one of my magazines and as I really wanted to ink this set up I decided this would be the perfect opportunity. I had decided on my card stock and stamped my images and was just about to start leafing through my sentiments when the doorbell rang. It was the postman with my new package including all the memento dew drop inks (ooooo - excited!) and a new Lasting impressions set of sentiments - perfect timing! I have never used a new product quite so quickly :) 


I decided to change things up a bit and colour each with a different medium so I've used my Derwent Coloursoft pencils, copics and I tried to use my new memento inks with a Whispers blender pen - really pleased with the results.


Anyway, here they are:
