More Ink Blending on Colored Card


I have enjoyed this new to me Ink Blending on Colored Card technique
 thanks to the Group of Seven Cardmaker's Blog


Be sure and check out the steps and helpful tips and card samples.
Here is the Video, which is very helpful.

I used all STAMPlorations stamps and Ranger Distress Inks

I began with an A2 piece of SU Poppy Parade CS.
Which I covered using The Rabbit Hole Designs Cotton Tail EB Powder Tool, 
which I think is a Must Have Tool:-)

Next stamped the new to me STAMPlorations In Bloom: Darling Dog Rosets (Dogwood)
image using Clear Versamark ink and MISTI.
Next heat embossed with Wow "Opaque Bright White EB Powder".

Then the Blending with Distress Inks began using Altenew Mini Blending Tools.
I used Black Soot Distress Ink around the edge of the card front.
Then added Festive Berries around the edge of the stamped flowers and 
blended into the Black Soot along the edge. 

Next splattered water using TH spritzer for large droplets and covered with a
Paper towel to soak up some of water.  Let dry.

Stamped the STAMPlorations  "It's a Girls Thing: Kindness" sentiments using
MISTI and Archival Jet Black Ink.

Next added white acrylic ink splatters using a #4 paint brush.
Then added SU Rhinestones.
Attached card front to the Ninnah 110# CS and Done!

I was very happy with the results.
Thank you GO7 Girls...I will be using this technique again:-)

Love and Hugs,

  10. You did a fantastic job with the GO7 technique, Nancy!
    The darker ink-blending definitely added depth to the background, and the white heat-embossed blooms pop beautifully against the bright red. The rhinestones and the splatter are wonderful finishing touches! Hugs.. Hideko
