TGIF Challenges: TGIFC283 - Ink Blending

September 25, 2020

IMG_7030.jpg

TGIFC283 - Friday Challenge time! This week it is all about Ink Blending … there are so many ways to achieve this look. I’m not the best at blending inks but I am getting better every time I try. Having the right paper and tools ensures better success, that is for sure.

My card today features two images from the stamp set Tasteful Touches. The ink blended background uses BumbleBee, Cinnamon Cider, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. I used a sponger dauber to apply and blend each color of ink onto watercolor paper. I misted the paper with water first so the inks would blend smoother.

Check out the TGIFChallenges blog for more details and inspiration for this challenge. Tag your projects #tgifc281 so the TGIF Challenges design team are sure to see them.

Blending Brush fail … but I made this card work in the end. The paper on the Specialty Embossed Cards has a little tooth and I could not get a smooth blend. Enter operation cover it all up. Haha.

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.
