Today's card project is done with simple ink blending using Distress Oxide inks. I will be using the new Pinkfresh Studio Frame Builder Botanical Rectangle dies along with the Diamond Tiles background stamp. I have had my eye on these ever since they were released last month, so I am very excited to share them with you today! Let's get started!!
To start, I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel out of Neenah White Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer. I prep my panel using my Anti Static Powder Bag then set the panel into the lower right corner of my MISTI stamp positioner. Next, I lay the Diamond Tiles Background Stamp over my panel then pick up with the door of my MISTI. I now ink up the stamp using Versamark Ink and stamp onto my panel. I then add Detail White Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. I start my ink blending using my Blender Brushes and blend with Spun Sugar Oxide Ink, blending around the inside edges of my panel. Next, I blend with Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink, blending in the center then fading into the previous color. I then go back with each color, blending into each other. *After completing my ink blending, I take a clean soft cloth and gently buff the white embossed areas, removing any extra ink.
I now take my Frame Builder Botanical Rectangle Dies and cut out of white cardstock two times each die using my Big Shot die cut machine. Next, using Liquid Glue, I stack and glue both sets of dies. Next, I glue the dies onto my blended panel, one at the top the other at the bottom. I then mount my panel onto a white card base.
To make a coordinating sentiment panel, I ink blend Spun Sugar Oxide Ink onto a scrap of white cardstock, and do the same with Picked Raspberry Ink. Using my Rectangle Infinity Dies, I die cut my blended scraps for my sentiment. I now place the smaller sentiment panel I created into my MISTI stamp positioner and stamp a sentiment from my Heartfelt Stamp Set using Versafine Clair Nocturn ink. I then layer and mount my stamped sentiment onto the bigger inked rectangle.
My final step is to mount my sentiment to my card front using Double Sided Adhesive Tape. To finish off my card I add Pearl Gems using Liquid Glue and this finishes off my card.
I had a lot of fun today creating a card with my new purchases! The Frame Builder Dies are very versatile. There are several different shapes including rectangle, diamond, triangle, circle and oval. Each set comes with two different dies. You can use the two different dies from the set like I did on my card, or use one of the same dies twice, giving your card different looks. I will be making cards using these dies again in the coming weeks!
