Hello!
A fabulous Wednesday to you.
Midweek Crafting Inspiration: Blooms & Berries Bundle
We’ve made it here to hump, and hopefully the road has been easy this week.
I Love Mixing the Old with the New
I was so excited earlier this week when I received my new Interference Ink and I couldn’t wait to use it. Although Lisa Horton Crafts is based in the UK, the company periodically creates products especially for the US market. The new interference ink called Sunset Pink is sold exclusively by Scrapbook.com.
When I set down to use my new ink, I decided to pair it with one of the first bundles I purchased from the Lisa Horton Crafts line, the Blooms & Berries 3D embossing folder and coordinating Layering Stencils.
Creating Today’s Card
The first decision I made after choosing my bundle was to decide on the other colors I would use. I decided that adding another interference ink would work well for the flowers and I went with matt blending inks for the leaves. This would allow the beautiful shimmer of the interference ink on the flower petals to really stand out.
The Finished Card
Here’s the card I created using these products.
To make this A2 sized card, I started by stenciling the floral onto an A2 sized white card stock panel.
I used Andy Magenta, lightly with a large blending brush for the first layer of the petals. Then I used Sunset Pink interference ink for the second layer and a bit of Warm Chestnut Shimmer interference ink for the the center.
On the leaves I used a base of Eucalyptus Leaves matt blending ink and accented them with Anthracite matt blening ink.
After inking, I dry embossed with the 3D embossing folder.
I used a large blending brush to add a hint of color around the edges of the panel and then added the completed panel to the card front.
For the sentiment I used a foiled sentiment from my stash and added it to the card front with foam tape for dimension.
I completed the project by adding Fashion Bella Self-Adhesive Embellishments by Spellbinders.
Super easy and elegant.
