Hello and welcome! There is a lot of \”new\” on the card that I created for this week\’s Watercooler Wednesday challenge. I love ink blending and have been wanting to try Altenew\’s Ink Blending Tool so I recently purchased the large blender and this was my first time giving it a \”go\”. I was immediately impressed by how well the blender worked my background. We are making \”feminine\” cards this week so I went with some fun bright coral, pink and purple for my background. This is a new color combination for me, but I really like it and will definitely use it again.
A while back, I won some stamps from Crackerbox and Suzy and I wanted to use their Christmas tree, which I thought was quite girly too.
I started my project by masking off the bottom of my card panel and then began my ink blending. I created a crude tree mask with a post-it and added white pigment dots with a fun stamp. After that was dry I added the script stamp. I didn\’t want the script to be uniform so I dabbed off some of the ink prior to stamping. Last, I heat embossed the the tree.
What is new for me on this card:
Altenew\’s Ink Blending Tool for the background
Crackerbox and Suzy\’s Christmas Tree Fancy Swirl
The Distress Ink background combo (coral, raspberry, seedless preserves)
MFT\’s Romantic Script (I purchased this months ago but had not used it yet)
