Just A Note

Hello, welcome to my blog!! For today's card, I'm getting back to my favorite technique, ink blending! I will be doing some ink blending to create a gradient blend. I will be using Distress Oxide Inks for my ink blending and also use it for some subtle stamping with a background stamp. Let's get started!! I will be doing all of my work on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat . To start, I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel out of Neenah White Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer .

To start, I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel out of Neenah White Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer . (YAY, it's back in stock!!) I use my ...

Two For One!

Hello, welcome to my blog!! Happy Friday! I hope everyone is safe and doing okay with everything going on. We are doing well here and pray that things can get back to normal soon. For today's card project, I wanted to create a clean and simple card with some bright, cheerful colors. I decided to not let the negative die cut pieces go to waste, so I created a bonus card! I will be using regular Distress Inks to do ink blending with my blender brushes. Let's get started!! I will be doing all of my work on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat . To start, I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel out of Neenah White Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Paper Trimmer . To create a rainbow ink blend, I will be using four ink pads to create six colors. Using my Blender Brushes , I start with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and blend at the top right corner of my panel, fading out a bit to blend my next color. Next, I use Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink , this time blending a wider band as th...
