have you ever seen a press blush ;)
cards are for the Love and Rummage 2 trunk showI tried out a little something special for these Valentine cards. With some experimenting, I was able to get the ink distribution just right. See how the ink is a distinct swirl on the disc? And see the slight but unmistakable results? The bottom of the heart is darker than the top. I've got a crush on this technique now.
