CARD DETAILS

I used the Waffle Flower Grip Mat as a surface to hold my paper (I’m using Neenah Solar White) and stencil. I picked Simon’s small and detail blending brushes to do my ink blending and my plan was to ink blend from the outside in. I ink blend the flowers from the outside of the petal to the inside of the petal making sure the outside of the petal is where I focus most of the ink and keep the base of the petal nearly white.

This is the opposite of what I usually do, I usually blend flowers from the center out, so the petals are mostly colored, with very little to no white, here I wanted a different effect, so I decided that blending from the tip of the petal to the base of the petal was a better option.

I used a combination of 2 ink shades for each flower: Sunbeam, Citrine, Guava, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Melon. With this stencil, you have 2 layers to each flower so you can easily do 2 colors of ink to give the flower more definition.

Using a small blending brush gives me a lot more control over where the ink is applied and how the ink is blended. I also used the tiniest brushed to ink blend flower centers. With the ink blending done I placed the panel inside my mini MISTI stamping tool and stamped a sentiment using Elegantly Modern Greetings and Tiny Words Encouragement stamp sets in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I created an A2 card base using Simon’s Fog cardstock, added a piece of yellow cardstock to add interest to the background, and foam-mounted the stamped and ink-blended panel on top. Lastly, I embellished the card with Aura sequins from Spellbinders.

Have fun crafting!
