Group of Seven Ink Blending without Ink Lifting

My Group of Seven Cardmakers Ink Blending cards without color lifting this time..

Click on the link above for all the Details!

I am adding my card to the Blog Linky:-)

All the DOX Ink Blending videos by Kristina Werner were VERY Helpful!

I used STAMPlorations "Christmas Candles Large" stamp!

I used Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Die to cut a 3" x 4"

Fluid 100 Hot Press 100% Cotton layer for ink blending.

Used TH's Blending Sponges with handles to blend the 3 DOX Inks: 

Picked Raspberries, Candied Apple and Wilted Violet.

I used Kristina's technique of blending Lots of ink colors.

I let my ink blended layer dry overnight...This is key to getting your

layer completely Dry!!! If not dry your Embossing Powder will stick!!

Covered ink blended layer with Rabbit Hole Designs Anti- Static Powder and 

stamped Candles using SSS White Premium Pigment Ink.  Then

heat embossed image.

I did not lift the ink from the stamped lined candles images

on this card because I really liked the colored candles:-)

Placed main image in MISTI and stamped and heat embossed the SSS

"Jolly Snippets" sentiment with SSS White Premium Pigment Ink.

Next used an A2 Neenah Solar White Crest Smooth 110# cardstock

to dry emboss the Sizzix 3D Fallen Leaves background layer,

which I attached to A2 Neenah Solar White card base.

Popped up main image with Craft foam and attached to 3D layer

and Done!  I was very pleased with the results:-)

******************

I am sharing a 2nd Christmas card using the same Ink Blending Technique 

without Ink Lifting as my 1st card.

I used the same Hot Press Papers and Neenah White Cardstock,

Ink Blended DOX Squeezed Lemonade, Lucky Clover and Mermaid Lagoon

 and let piece sit overnight to Dry!

Then added Anti-static Powder, stamped STAMPlorations "Christmas Gift Large"

using white pigment ink and Heat Embossed.

Then used MISTI to stamp the STAMPlorations "Homespun Christmas" 

sentiment using Memento London Fog Dye Ink.

Added blue and green rhinestones from my stash, 

popped up image with craft foam and attached to card base

and Done! 

I am so happy to have 2 more cards for my Christmas Stash:-)

Thank you for visiting...Love and Hugs,

The Flower Challenge: Clean and Simple

I am playing in The Flower Challenge #70 CAS Clean and Simple Challenge.

I could not resist a CAS Challenge using new products from Altenew.

Quick Clean and Simple card design...

I used Altenew "Watercolor Stripes Stencil" for my background.

I laid an A2 size piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper on to my

"Stick and Stamp Mat" and then covered with the stencil.

I love how the stencil sticks to the mat and no longer have to use masking tape.

Then used make up brushes to blend the yellow and green Distress Oxide inks

thru the stencil.  Removed stencil and placed paper in MISTI.

Stamped the Altenew "African Daisies" over the stripes background with Versafine black ink

 and heat embossed with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

Used the same technique for the sentiment,  which is from the same set.

Die cut the border with Penny Black "Leaf Stitched Frames"

attached to SU Basic White 100# Card Base and Done!

I loved how my CAS card turned out and will be sending it to my

dear 93 year old friend,  Daisy:-)  Enjoy....

STAMPday Birthday Project Feature with Tanja

I am playing along in STAMPgirl Tanja's Little Art Cottage

STAMPday Birthday Project Feature using STAMPlorations Products💕

I created a Birthday card using these STAMPlorations Products.

ARTplorations Peony Number Two Stencil

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nest Dies

Clear Stickers Birthday Word Art

Shaker Blends Color Confetti 

I placed my ARTplorations Peony Number Two Stencil

over Strathmore Mixed Media Paper and used i-Crafters Blending Brushes to

blend Distress Oxide Inks: Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy and

Warm Lipstick. I loved the blended colors combination:-)

Next I die cut the image with

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nest Dies.

Then trimmed the cake off the 

Clear Stickers Birthday Word Art sentiment and added to main image.

Attached the pretty Peony image to the 100# basic white cardbase

and added a Shaker Blends Color Confetti for a bit of shine.

I was really pleased with my CAS STAMPlorations card.

Thank you for your visit and wishing you all a happy, healthy crafting time...Please

keep our dear sweet Shery in your thoughts and prayers as she begins

her treatments to fight her disease.

Love and Hugs..
