Technique Thursday

I hope to start something on this blog that I will refer to as Technique Thursday, not to be confused with the stamp company Technique Tuesday. Check in on Thursday, when at least once a month, I will be describing some technique or product that I use in my creations. This week's technique is direct to paper inking. Consider this card
It lacks "oomph" and the elements don't really stand out. By applying ink from an ink pad to the edges of the circles, they really stand out on the finished product.
It is as simple as rubbing the paper directly across the ink pad or vice versa.


Here's another card from my shop that features the same technique.
