At convention, Pam Morgan demonstrated making your own ink pad out of felt and re-inkers. She used the Autumn Days pheasant, which I happen to have so I just had to try it out and this is the result. She said you’d get at least 15 images, I stamped about 25! The later images showed much more detail, as the ink wasn’t quite so wet and intense. I used several techniques for this card – making my own ink pad, emboss resist, and masking. A similar technique using baby wipes as an ink pad instead of the felt was the topic for my Technique club last month.
