You can google Ink Swipe technique if you want to give it a try, I didn't do something write because I couldn't get long swipes and the card I did manage to do that by continuous adding on to me little swipes looked awful that went into the trash.
We were to use at least 3 inks, and make a card out of at least one of 3 backgrounds we made.
Here are the 3 I made.
Crafters companion - Sheena - Silhouette Grass stamp
Versafine ink with clear embossing powder
Distress Oxides - Tattered Rose, Pumice stone, and Abandoned coral
Hero Arts - All Occasion messages stamp sentiment
Lawn Fawn - Fancy Scalloped Rectangle
Sparkle confetti
I really don't see me trying this technique again but I have seen others have had wonderful results.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a Blessed Sunday!

Hmmm I don't think I've ever tried this technique and I can see where the choice of paper & ink could make a huge difference! Since I'm STUCK in the cave today (close to a foot of snow already), might have to give it a whirl! Thanks for inspiration! Have a great day!
What cool results. I love them all. The black silhouette looks perfect for this technique.
Cool background Connie. Love the look, especially with that silhouette image. So striking with the intense black.
You made an interesting background, Connie, even if it didn't turn out as you intended. Actually, I like it! Very artsy and pretty colors. Whether a crisp black silhouette like this, or an image panel over top, I think it's way cool!
Awesome pink card!Have a lovely new week!
Connie! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how your backgrounds came out. You sound disappointed, but I actually prefer the visual interest compared to the long strips of ink. I am going to try to do it your way. LOVE THEM - can you tell I like what you have done? I especially like your choice of silhouette stamps, too! Hope you are staying warm. We will be below freezing in the morning! Yikes! And it was 80 yesterday! Wishing you a great week! hugs, de
That's certainly different.
You do sound a little disappointed though.
It looks a lovely shade of pink.
Hope your weekend has been good, my good wishes for the new week ahead.
All the best Jan
What a fun technique and design Connie.
Hugs Diane
Understand your reluctance Connie, but it did make a great card, wonder if ink flows differently on watercolour paper, thanks for sharing, Sha ain Oz.x

I read your post twice and then I realized that the card you through in the trash was not your "credit" card but your greeting card. Yikes! Love the pink best. xo
Awesome results, love this and your samples of different colours are just WOW.X
I have never heard of this. I love the effect. Your card is beautiful.
They sure make for pretty backgrounds. I adore that garden silhouette stamp too!
Love this color combination!! So pretty!! Thanks again for stopping by!!

What a clever idea for creating interesting backgrounds. Your card turned out lovely! Thanks for the inspiration!
Very cool, Connie! You did an excellent job with this technique. Beautiful card!
So cool Connie! Not always necessary to buy tools when every day objects work so well! lol Great idea to punch the sides too, and the stamping really pops on that background! TFS~ Hugs, karen o
