AECP - Easy Ink Blending Techniques

-

Hello!

 

Today I made my card for the Easy Ink Blending course.

I tried to make my blending slowly and patient... well not one of my strengths.😅


I created a soft ink blending, which faded on the top of my card.


 




The flowers I made with the faux watercolor technique. I stamped some flowers from the Choral Charm Stamp set and heat embossed them white. Then I blended them with ink and added more water and ink. Finally, I die cut them out. 


They look nice but I think this technique looks much better, if you don’t cut the pieces out and do it directly on paper.

 





To add a little more interest, I die cut a frame from white cardstock and then I assembled everything together.

 

I love the sentiment “Trust the timing of your life” from the Spider Mums Stamp set. Such a beautiful message, to have faith in everything that happens. Not always easy. But hey, life guided me to Altenew and now I’m happily doing my AECP! 😂

Hello everyone!   Thank you so much for visiting my blog. You must be here from  LauraJane s  Blog. U nbelievable how creative she always is!   I created some cards I would like to share with you.   My first card I made with the new Daisies stencil that coordinates with embossing folder. I first colored the embossing folder with a brayer and run it through my die cut machine. Then colored the flowers with the stencils in blue and purple. I love this color combination. And with the stencil it is so easy to get great results.  After coloring I put the paper back in the embossing folder and run it through again, so I got back some of the dimension I may have lost with the coloring. I decided to take a small sentiment from the Floral Halo Stamp Set and fussy cut it out. I didn’t want to distract from this beautiful image. I find the daisies literally smile at you, so you certainly feel loved. My next card I created with the Blooming Flower Bed Stencil. With thi...

Hi everyone!   Thanks for stopping by. You must be here from  Laurie Willison s Blog. So today I’m going to show you some cards I created with some products from the  September Winter Magic Release Blog Hop. Most of the cards are with Christmas themes. I really love this special magical time. But I don’t know about you, it is also the time when I miss loved ones who are no longer with us the most. So, I tried to add a little bit of sparkle and shine on all my cards, because this makes me just feel happy.   My first card I created with the Poinsettia & Berries Stamp Set. O stamped the flowers and leaves and die cut them with the coordinating dies. As background I took the Dotted Pinwheels Stamp Set.  I really love this background because it adds so much interest to a background and its also very versatile. Then I assembled all together. To finish the card I Added some glossy accent to the flowers and berries.           ...
