Inking techniques 2

In my You Tube video, I explain the different components in making this card. I enjoyed this process - blending ink,  mixing colors. And I have to say, I am getting more accomplished with new tools, such as my die cutting machine. So, let's get to it. I recommend watching the video first and then read the supplies list and instructions.

Supplies

• Altenew Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp and die set
• Altenew Better Together stamp set
• Altenew white cardstock 
• Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine fresh dye ink set 
• Altenew fresh dye inks in Bamboo, Frayed Leaf and Evergreen

• Blending tool
  
  
  

1. First cut your card stock to A2 size (4.25"X5.5")
2. On separate card stock, ink the roses in it's four layers and leaves in two layers.
3. Cut roses and leaves out with your die cutting machine
4. With Bamboo ink and blending tool, blend bamboo around top of card. Go slowly and VERY light. I also added frayed leaf and citrus burst in layers over the bamboo. You want to swirl the blending tool lightly so no marks are left behind and color is built up slowly and diffuse. 
5. Stamp the larger leaf/stem on your card.
6. Glue down cut flowers and leaves.
7. Stamp sentiment in evergreen and bamboo.

Glue rhinestone embellishment.

I love this card. I hope you. like it too!
