Ink Smooshing With Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits Dies – Using Die-cut Negatives

~ Anna Krol ~ 4 Comments

Hello guys! I’m back today with ink smooshing technique again. But this time I’ve used die-cut negatives I’ve saved from my previous project.

For these cards, I decided to choose different colours: shades of red, green and purple. The base of my cards is again a watercolour paper as it’s perfect for watercolour techniques. I explained ink smooshing technique in my post here.

To add some more detail to the die-cut pieces I run them through my big shot with Happy Heart Embossing Folder. I love how they stand out from busy backgrounds.

To stamp main sentiments I have used my die-cut as a guide to make sure I stamp it exactly in the middle of my card. I stamped it in Versamark and heat embossed in gold. Before adhering the panels I’ve made few “splotches” using Gold Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush.

To finish off my cards I took a strip of black cardstock and heat embossed “love you” sentiment in gold. My husband’s friend came over at the weekend and “nicked” one card for his girlfriend straight away haha Hope she will like it.

If you like my project or got any questions please let me know in the comments below.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a blessed day,

My favourite Traveler’s Birthday!

Hello everyone. Today a quick share from me. A very special birthday card I’ve made few weeks ago for my dear friend and soul-sister from Australia. And because I know how she loves to travel I came out with this idea:

Pretty cool hey?! I really like how this card turned out. I’ve used gorgeous Island Indigo and window sheet for the card base. Window sheet is dry embossed with Delicate Designs TIEF.

Then I’ve made my own DSP using Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point and Night of Navy Stampin Markers, clear block, water and watercolour paper. Just scribble the markers on the clear block, spritz with water and “stamp” ot the paper. repeat until you’re happy with colour intensity. Takes time but it’s well worth the effort. When the background was ready (dry and ironed 😉 ) there was the time for some random stamping. And for that I’ve used Gorgeous Grunge, Traveler and En Francais stamp sets.

For the inside of the card I’ve used a piece of Whisper White. Beautiful chevron stamp and sentiment from Work of Art, same as the ship from Traveler set, seemed just perfect. The colours are as follows: Night of Navy, Pool Party, Soft Sky and Memento Black.

Cute anchor charm, piece of silver ribbon and some rhinestones complete the card.

I’m so happy with the card and the fact that my sweet friend loved it 🙂 And what do you think? Do you like it? Please message me or comment below. Would love to hear from you.
