Navy ink with May Flaum

Hey everybody! It's just me, May Flaum here, and you know I just am so in love with the color Navy in my ink lately. In fact, you might say it is one of my favorite colors of ink! This is relevant because this week here at Simon Says Stamp & Show we're sharing projects with our favorite inks.
 
I blame the Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire distress paint for this recent navy obsession, because ever since I got that paint I have been really inspired by this color in general. To show you how I made the card above, and talk about my favorite navy colored inks as well as color combinations and more possibilities, I've created a video to share with you here today.

 
 Now I leave it to you! Whether I've inspired you to run wild with the rich blue hues or you're feeling nautical, or of course if you want to share your own personal favorite ink be sure  to enter this week's challenge! The prize (randomly drawn) is a $50 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp shop! It's full of inky goodness always of course.

For the full challenge rules check out the information in the side bar, and to be entered just check out the post just below this for the inky challenge. We'll be back next week with an all new challenge of course - we're always up to something! 
(and there's loads of new fun stuff in store too!)

  11. I love watching your videos. Always fun and inspiring. Im like u I'll just sit and play and mix things up to see how it all turns out in the end. It's not any fun if u dont experiment and less fun if you don't make a mess. Messy inky fun is the best

  16. I too am a fan of Hero Arts inks. Although I still adore my Distress inks. I have never tried using Hero Inks with an ink blending tool, why? I have no idea! But thanks for opening up a whole new world if ideas. Great video, great card. Thanks May. Oh by the way, do you have any hints on how to make more hours in the day?
