Easy Ink Blended Background with the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle
Learn how to create a soft ink blended background without covering the entire card in color. Pool Party ink, a Blending Brush, and the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle make this simple floral card easy to recreate.
Supplies Needed
- Golden Glow Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4)
- Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (2 pieces)
- Basic White Cardstock: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" (for die-cutting)
Instructions
- Fold the Golden Glow cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere one of the 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White cardstock inside the card and decorate as desired.
- Using the other piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment in the lower right corner using Pool Party ink.
- Stamp the multi-flower image 2 times on the left side of the cardstock as shown using Pool Party ink.
- Ink a Blending Brush with Pool Party ink and blend over the stamped Pool Party images. Tip: start your blending off the paper and then move over the paper using gentle circular motions. Start light and keep building ink to avoid 'smudgy' areas.
- Stamp the multi-flower image onto the 3-1/2" square of Basic White cardstock using Black ink. Color in the leaves using the Dark Pool Party Blend.
- Color in the right flower (see sample) using the Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Color in the center of the other 3 flowers using the Golden Glow Blends. Color in the remaining 3 flower petals using the Calypso Coral Blends and the inside of the 4th Golden Glow flower.
- Run the colored floral image through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut using the coordinating die from the Radiant Sunflower Dies. Adhere to the front of the card as shown in the sample using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- To finish, tie a bow using the Crumb Cake Neutral Jute and adhere to the card as desired.
Notes
Worker Bee (for Confident Cardmakers)
Worker Bee projects are designed for the crafter who has a bit more time and enjoys creating a handmade card that features a technique or tool. In many cases, a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is required for die-cutting and/or embossing.
