AECP – Easy Ink Blending

This course from Altenew is Easy Ink Blending.  I looked forward to this one as I tend to struggle with the smooth blend of ink and which ink colors to use.  I learned a lot!

 

For this card I chose the Altenew Spoon Daisy 3D Embossing Folder.  The embossed dimension of this folder is just stunning.  I pulled out my color cubes to get the inspiration for which colors to pick.  I decided on Altenew’s Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields and Teal Cave, and added MFT’s Boysenberry.  These colors were blended onto white cardstock using the Altenew medium blending brushes and the Ultra Sticky Mat.

I then embossed the blended panel, as well as, one cut out of white cardstock. I cut down the blended panel and placed it on top of the white embossed panel.  The images “locked” into one another and then I glued them down.

I went over the raised areas with a white ink pad to enhance the embossed image.  I popped up the embossed panel with foam tape and then added a simple hello sentiment to finish it off.

 

Create Your Own Background – Incy Wincy Design Challenge

The focal point of this card is the creation of A Day for Daisies Shop “Gift Tag”.   

I pictured this package sitting under a Christmas tree awaiting Christmas morning.  I used Distress Ink to color the background and used a stamp from Sunny Studio to create the branches.  I colored the package using Copic markers R14, R37 & R89.  The bow was colored with Y06, Y17 & YR16.  The tag is B00 and a Copic Multiliner to write in the names on the tag.  The half pearls are from Ink Road Stamps.

This image is so cute and has so many possibilities from Christmas to birthdays and even Valentine’s Day.  A Day for Daisies Shop has so many cute images.  I hope you will check out the shop and create something amazing.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.  I pray all of your Christmas wishes are fulfilled.
