Ink blending : 2 ways with Karen @cardsbykaren
Card Making ink blending valentine's card Valentine's Day
Create beautiful backgrounds (and even a cut-out shape) with Distress Oxide Inks, blending brushes and a stencil.
For the first piece: Karen applied three different shades of ink onto a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest cardstock creating an ombré look.
For the first piece: Karen applied three different shades of ink onto a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest cardstock creating an ombré look.
For the second piece: Karen die cut a heart shape and used low tack tape to adhere it to the cardstock. She placed a stencil from Vicki Boutin on top and blended on the ink, keeping the lightest colour in the centre and the darker inks towards the edges.
Next, images from Lawn Fawn’s “Charge Me Up” stamp set were stamped, watercoloured, and cut out using the coordinating dies.
The stencilled background was adhered to a standard A2 size card base. The heart shape was removed, leaving a white space behind.
A strip of the ombré background was attached to a mini slimline card base (measuring 6”x3”), and the stencilled heart shaped piece placed on top.
This last card is A2 sized, and features the ombré paper which was cut out with a rectangular die. There is also a heart shaped vellum piece placed behind the robot image.
So, tell us: in what ways have you played with inks lately?
