Today was the day of the first Ross Papercraft Show in Edinburgh. It was really nice to get there, as I had to miss the SECC and the Sincerely Yours show due to our move. I was pretty good when it comes to the craft spending, but I am over the moon that I found a set of ink blending mats (one in A4, one in 12" x 12" and one in A3) at the organisers stall. They are like the SplodgeAway mats but much more affordable. I am already using a 12" x 12" mat and wanted to get a smaller size anyway (and I can always cut the larger ones to size), so I am a pretty happy bunny that I have saved so much money. And other crafters in the area can also benefit, as Stamper's Grove are now also stocking the mats.
The card above is one that I made for the Stamper's Grove/Crafty Stamps stall as pretty much last minute addition. It features their Domestic Goddess stamp 'with husband' (DG110M) stamped with black Memento ink and coloured in using ProMarkers.
Further materials:
* White linen textured cardstock by Southfield
* Patterned paper
* Dovecraft 6"x6" textured cardstock pad
* Paper roses and rosebuds
* Decorative pins
* Adhesive
Further tools:
* Die-cutting machine
* Border die by Marianne Designs
* Heart-shaped die by Joy! Crafts
* Toolbox essentials

I went to my first Ross Papercraft show not long ago was lucky enough it is literally 5 mins from my house.
I know the mats you are talking about, I got them as well and in my opinion they are just as good and a fraction of the cost.
Glad you enjoyed your first Ross show and your card is lovely.
