Well this was fun! I tried something new (to me!) with the April Betterpress Society plates, 'Inkspired Wishes'. I thought it would be the perfect set of plates to try some ink swiping.
I used all four of the plates in the set, along with five Pinkfresh Studio ink cubes in a rainbow pattern. Each ink was randomly streaked across the plate, overlapping a little with the other colours - enough to cover each plate, some areas being thicker than others.
I huffed a little before pressing onto regular white cardstock, and the results were gorgeous! I inked up one of the sentiments from the set in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink, then matted it and my main panel with a 1/16" grey mat. A few irridescent discs from Pink & Main added a little extra sparkle.
