Hi!
I actually got to make my Make it Monday Card on Monday!
This week's challenge was to use some ink blending techniques on a card. I used my ink blending tools and some Distress ink to color my rose and leaves and to add the lace border at the bottom. I was thinking about making a video of it, but couldn't figure out how to MacGyver anything in my studio into a working tripod thingy, so i just took some pictures of the different steps :)
here's my card :)

for the rose i used 4 colors. I started with some Spiced Marmalade in the center of the rose.
I added some Wild Honey around the center.
I blended in some Dried Marigold next.
and finally blended the whole thing together with Scattered Straw
I added some Wild Honey to the lines of my flower petals with my fantastix coloring tool and then blended the whole thing with Scattered Straw.
For my leaves i shaded one side with Shabby Shutters
and blended in some Peeled Paint.
for the bottom of the card i cut some cardstock with my doily edger die and temporarily adhered it to my card front with post-it notes. Then i sponged some Scattered Straw & Wild Honey ink on top!

ReplyDeletei have been intimidated by the density of the ranger inks, but I love how you softened the look. :)
Wow, this is fantastic and I particularly like the stencilled edge of the card. Great out of the box thinking!
