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.

Stamping a scene … I always marvel at how quickly a project can come together when stamping. Sometimes I like to stamp on wet paper as it can make the ink bleed and blur. For this card I built a collage scene with a bunch of stamps and layered with die cut shapes from the Queen Bee bundle. 🐝 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #gdp564
