Ink Blending Tips for a Seamless Background

I used ink blending for this card to create a soft, seamless background. Here’s my top tip:
Take your time and use a light hand. It’s easier to build up the colour gradually than to remove it if it gets too dark.

I typically use small blending brushes for precision, but any size works—just layer the colour until you achieve the look you want.

This is a simple card to make but is very effective. Fracture cards are created using the tearing technique. I tore both the Basic White and coloured cardstock together so I could mat and layer them. You could emboss both the coloured and white cardstock if you wanted.

As we near the end of the annual catalogue I go through my stamp shelves and see what stamps I’ve used and which have hardly seen ink. The Charming Duck Pond bundle is one which I’ve only used a couple of times.

I wanted to use it again before it perhaps retires. This card is CASED from the annual catalogue. What is casing you may ask. Case means to copy and share everything. There is nothing wrong with casing an idea from the catalogue but do give credit to your source idea.

I was struggling with an idea for a fun fold card, so I went to Pinterest. I found this gorgeous pop-out accordion card. The measurements were in inches. I’ve reworked the card with metric measurements. I love it and hope you do too.

The paper is called Toadstool Gardens. For every qualifying purchase, you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-Bration (SAB) catalogue, and this was one of mine. It is bright, vibrant and fun.

I’ve wanted to use this frame from the Autumn Expressions die set with the Gold Foil sheet since I saw it in the catalogue. It looks so good and adds a touch of elegance to this card. This card uses only 1 sheet of 6″ X 6″ Splendid Autumn designer series paper (DSP). We made this in a recent card club and everyone loved it.
