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!
