Hi There! I hope you are having a great week! My Monday was crazy but the good news is that it was my last Monday at work! I'm retiring this Friday! I couldn't be any more thrilled!!! So the weekend was fun filled as I attended a virtual demonstrator event. Monday being what it was, I ran home as fast as possible to make my card for this week's Ink Blending Challenge at The Spot. I love ink blending!
So this week's ink blending is what I will call a Pink Ombre with a Sneak Peak of the new Color & Contour Bundle from the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog!
I started blending my 3-3/4" x 5" panel of Basic White Cardstock with Blushing Bride Ink and then blended in Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink! I spritzed a little water on it and used a paper towel to absorb the moisture. Then I added some spritzes of a Mixture of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. I stamped the outline of the flowers from the Color & Contour Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The watercolored look inside of the flowers was stamped in So Saffron, Polished Pink, and Blushing Bride. I colored the leaves in with the new beautiful So Succulent Blends and added some quick coloring using the Light Mango Melody blends to the inside of the two pink flowers. I heat embossed the sentiment on the bottom right of the front panel in black. I added the flowers with Dimensionals and added a few splatters with my Basic Black Stampin Write Marker. I matted the front panel onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" panel of Basic Black cardstock and then mounted that onto a Thick Basic White 4-1/4" x 11" card base (scored at 5-1/2") for a top folding card. Finally I finished it off with some Matt Black Dots! The Matt Black Dots are my new favorite embellishment!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings, Tina
