My card uses the Stampin Up Set High Tide. I have used an old ink I think- Always Artichoke and my ink pad is quite old and quite dry - however using Tim Holtz stamp positioner is a great way to bring life back to old inks. You can stamp them as many times as you like and as the stamp is always in the same position the ink gets darker. I'm sure that's not what they all had in mind when the various companies developed the stamping positioner tools but it's what I use mine for the most.
I did add black as an extra colour so I hope that was ok. The centre was punched out with a stitched framelit and I sponged the edges and popped it on dimensionals. The button and thread is from my stash and was inspired by one of the cards from the DT at the Male Room. I like to use buttons and it's nice that they seem to be having a revival.
