Hey everyone! It is Wednesday!! I have been trying to find time to make a card for the Unity Stamp Co.'s monthly challenge on the Unity {show & tell} Facebook page and finally decided on what to make. The theme this month is Monochromatic and I wanted to go with red because I don't work with red enough. Since I was not going to color with markers on this project, I decided to go with the Fear Not stamp set from Unity which was a great stamp to work with on this project.
First, I got out my inks I wanted to blend with, which are Cranberry Fizz, Rockin' Red and Samba from Catherine Pooler. Then I got out a piece of 110lb white cardstock and cut it down to the size I wanted for my card panel and cut another piece to the size I wanted to run down the middle of my card panel using Tim Holtz's Deckle Cutter. I then ink blended both pieces. I then stamped the rose image from the Fear Not stamp set in multiple directions using the Cranberry Fizz ink. I then cut out some leaves using the Tender Leaf die from Simon Says Stamp and colored them with the Cranberry Fizz ink. I then glued the leaves onto the card panel using Bearly Art glue and then popped the middle card panel onto the main card panel using foam tape. I then stamped the sentiment using a sentiment from the May 2020 Sentiment Kit "hello sweetheart bouquet" and popped that up with some foam tape. I then added some clear enamel dots from Gina Marie. It is a simple card to make, and ink blending is a beautiful technique! I hope you all have a great day and I will see you later this week!! Happy Crafting Y'all! |
