Hello, welcome to my blog!!
I want to start out by thanking everyone for the support and nice comments you all leave for me. I truly appreciate the support of this blog!! I enjoy card making and bringing my creations to you, this wouldn't be possible without your support, so again, thank you!!!
Today, I have a colorful ink blended card with a white pigment inked background. I will be using The Best Flowers stamp set along with the coordinating dies from Gina K. Designs. I will also be using Gina's inks and cardstock along with the Master Layouts 1 Dies set for quick, even layering of my panels. Let's get started!!
I will be doing all of my work today on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat.
To start, I take the smaller rectangle from the Master Layouts 1 Die Set and cut out of Ivory Cardstock, running them through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. Using my Blender Brush, I blend Innocent Pink Ink around the center of my panel and fade out towards the outside. I then blend Sweet Mango Ink around the previous color, blending back into it and fading out towards the edges. Finally, I blend Dusty Rose Ink around the edges and corners, blending back into the previous color. I then go back through each color, blending where they meet for a soft blend.
Next, I place the blended panel into my MISTI Stamp Positioner. Taking the Petite Flourish Background Stamp, I ink it up with White Pigment Ink and stamp my panel. I then dry the ink with my Heat Tool.
Taking the biggest rectangle from the Master Layouts 1 Die Set I cut out of Black Onyx Cardstock, running them through my Big Shot. Using Terrific Tape, I adhere my blended panel to the black panel.
Next, I take a piece of Ivory Cardstock and blend a small area using Sweet Mango Ink. I then blend Dusty Rose Ink around the previous color, blending back into it. This will create the background for my flower.
I now blend Jelly Bean Green Ink followed by a little bit of Fresh Asparagus Ink to create a background for my leaves.
Next, I place the panel into my MISTI and place my images from The Best Flowers Stamp Set over the inked areas. I then stamp the images using Amalgam Obsidian Ink.
Taking the coordinating dies from The Best Flowers Die Set I line them up over the stamped images and hold in place using Purple Tape. I then run them through my Big Shot.
Placing a scrap piece of Black Onyx Cardstock into my MISTI and prep with my Anti Static Powder Bag. I then stamp two sentiments from The Best Flowers Stamp Set using Embossing Ink, add White Embossing Powder then heat set with my Heat Tool. I trim the sentiments down to thin strips using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer.
Next, I place a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Dusty Rose Cardstock into my Scor Buddy and score at 4 1/4" creating a side folding card base. I then add Foam Tape to the back of the panels and mount onto my card base.
I take my flower and add two layers of Foam Tape to the back of it and mount it onto my card front. I add Liquid Glue to the biggest leaf cluster and adhere it under my flower. I then add Foam Tape to the other two leaves and mount them, tucking the stems just under the flower. For my sentiments, I add Liquid Glue to the top one and adhere onto the flower. For the second sentiment I add Foam Tape and mount just under the first one. To finish off my card, I use my Jewel Picker to add Water Droplets with Liquid Glue and this completes my card.
Using white pigment ink to stamp over a blended background adds a nice soft look. Whether using a bold stamp or a fine detailed stamp like I used on this card, the white ink shows up beautifully and really gives a unique look to any card! My new kit and goodies from Gina K. Designs arrived today!!! Come back tomorrow when I will be creating a card using a set from the new kit!
