Hello Winnie & Walter fans!
It is
Lindsay back again with you today, to share my third performance with you! It is hard to believe that we are well into the month of September already! For today, I am bringing you cards using ink blending. This technique is so versatile, and fun! You can add color to just about anything with an ink pad, and a foam applicator.
For my first card, I die cut the
Essentials: Audrey Cutaways out of white cardstock, and using a round foam applicator, applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to just the bottom. I then moved on to my flowers. Taking the
In Bloom: Maggie's Roses dies, I die cut two of them, and applied a heavy layer of ink to each. I also did that to the leaves. To complete them, I added the line layer, and adhered them to the panel with both foam, and regular adhesive.
I stamped the sentiment from
The Big, the Bold and Comfort in Onyx Black ink, and adhered the panel to a white cardbase, finishing it off with a few sequins.
For this card, I wanted to blend in a rainbow of colors, over top of an embossed image. So, to begin, I repeatedly stamped the border image from the
True stamp set in Onyx Black ink, and applied clear embossing powder over it. Once I heat set it, I applied my Distress Inks in rainbow order, making sure to overlap the colors.
After I trimmed the panel down, and adhered it to a white card base with foam I began working on my sentiment. I die cut the
In a Word: Hello Cutaway multiple times from black cardstock, and adhered them together. I then adhered that to my card, along with the word "friend," which I stamped from the
True stamp set. To finish it off, I adhered a few white enamel dots.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you were inspired to try a bit of ink blending on your next project! Have a great day!
Beautiful cards Lindsay! I especially love the first one! :D
