The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "Ink" and this is my entry. No prizes for guessing that my focus this week is on Distress Inks! Any of you who visit here regularly will know that they are always my first choice for adding colour to my projects, for so many reasons. Because they stay wet for a little longer than other dye inks they blend so easily on the card surface, which is of primary importance for me, I use that technique so much. Why don't you make an entry for this week's challenge? You'll be in the running for a $50 shopping voucher! :)
That's it for this week - bold, strong colours which were made to be the star of the show. I hope you approve! :)
Supplies I used included:
Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week, just make something for the challenge and you could the winner! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)
Don't forget, Simon Says Stamp have a great Facebook page too! Check them out here!

Striking bold graphics! Love the solid distress ink colors and how it makes a big statement! :)
Love how you made that guy faceless. Works so well with the bold design. I totally agree about the wonders of DI (except I've never really been able to heat emboss with 'em.)
Good morning Dan! Another Monday! :) Your challenge piece is so cool and yes, I would never have guessed that you would be using BOLD color and Distress Inks! :) I think your idea of creating large color blocks for your background is very effective! Love your results! <3 Candy
Awesome job! SO nice to locate another male crafter!
Fabulous bold card Dan! The bright solid colours look awesome.
Love the bold blocks of colour on this piece Dan and I love how you have used the winged gentleman and added the moustache. Tracy x
Love how you have used such bold colours but still managed to keep a grunge feel to things. Great card Dan.
Get those Pan Pastels out and have a play - do be aware that the normal pastels reacted differently to the metallic. You can build the colour of the normal ones straight onto the card stock but the metallic need the help of Versamark to stop the colour being 'pulled off' as you try to add layers of colour - but they are all fun to play with.

Do like your blocky look on this !
This is a really great piece, Dan! I was so inspired by how you made him as a silhouette, yet he still is full of life and energy. You've always got such a unique take on our challenges and I look forward to seeing what you come up with every week.
Fabulous bold colours, and the faceless man is genuinely haunting!
