Add a little pop to your card base with a stunning blend of Inks that match your focal image, and watch your designs come to life.
Today, we have a fairly easy floral hello card using a color palette that feels like Summer! The combo of pink, yellow & orange really feels like a dreamy summer sunset. Our designer, Julie, used the same colors for both the background and the flowers, creating an overall look that is truly stunning. What’s fun about this is if you switch up the warm colors for cool colors your card would have a very serene look. Follow along on this quick tutorial as Julie shows us how ink blending your card background to match your dies is a good idea.
- To make my card, I picked out some hot summer colors of ink & a few dies.
- I started by using big blending brushes & the yellow, pinks & reds over a 4.25 x 5.50 piece of white card.
- When dry (it had a lot of ink on it), I die cut it w/ the Quilted Stitch cover die to give it a little more interest.
- I wanted a little more white around the edges, so I trimmed it down a bit using the largest plain rectangle die.
- For the flowers, I used the same ink on another panel, but blended them on in strips & also added an area of green for the leaves & stems.
- Then the flowers were die cut out of this panel.
- The flowers were shaped a bit before attaching to the stems & finally the front panel.
- Hello was die cut using the Vintage Alphabet die & the Friend was part of a larger greeting. After die cutting it, I trimmed off the upper part to just leave “Friend”.
