Enjoy Your Day!

Hello, welcome to my blog!!

***For everyone interested in the clear Water Droplets that I use on my card... THEY ARE BACK IN STOCK!!! There are also Heart Shaped Water Droplets***

I wanted to end the week with a simple card that doesn't require much... just stamps, inks and embossing powder. Today's card uses a simple ink blending technique, along with heat embossing. Silver embossing against the blue tones, can really add elegance to a simple card.
For my ink blending I will be using regular Distress Inks. Let's get started!!




I will be doing all of my work on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat.

To start, I take my Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a panel out of Neenah White Cardstock running them through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. Using my Blender Brushes, I start my blending using Weathered Wood Distress Ink and blend in the middle of the panel, fading out towards the very center. Next, I take Stormy Sky Distress Ink and blend around further out and fade back into the previous color. For my final color, I blend Faded Jeans Distress Ink around the edges and corners, fading back into the previous color. I then go back through each color to soften up the blending.





I then place the panel into my MISTI Stamp Positioner and stamp a sentiment from the Heartfelt Stamp Set using Versafine Claire Nocturn Ink. Next, I prep my panel using an Anti Static Powder Bag. I now stamp some images from the Persian Motifs Stamp Set, using Versamark Embossing Ink. I then add Detail Silver Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. I continue this process until my panel is framed with images.








I adhere the panel onto a white card base using Double Sided Tape, add some Water Droplets using Liquid Glue, and this completes my card.




I hope you enjoyed today's card. It really is a simple card to put together. I really like the look of these three colors together. I have never used these three together before, and now want to try out more color combinations! I don't own all of the colors so I try to match up colors that I do have. This stamp set I used looks beautiful water colored, can be stamped tone on tone for a subtle look, or embossed like I did for today's card. Lined stamps are not only for coloring, they work great for creating backgrounds also!

I enjoy card making and bringing my creations to you, this wouldn't be possible without your support, so again, thank you!! I'm back!!! For those of you that don't know, I took a couple of weeks off to spend some time with my brand new grand babies!! We were blessed with two more grandsons (who are cousins, their dads are brothers!) that were born only two days apart! We now have three grandsons and one granddaughter and feel so blessed!! Today I am using Distress Oxide inks to watercolor a 3D embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I was blown away by the detail of this embossing folder and knew right away that I wanted to watercolor something soft. Having all of these raised areas to color made watercoloring so simple and really took little effort. With all of the dimension of the 3D effect it is easy
