I'm always looking for shortcuts and quick tips to make crafting quicker and easier. Then when I feel comfortable with a new product or technique I can experiment a bit more.

Another Ink Pad Background Idea
Last week I showed you a fun technique for creating your own backgrounds using the 'ink swipe' technique. Today I have another quick and easy idea, the 'ink pad to paper' technique.
