How to Make a Beautifully Blended Rainbow Card

How to Make a Beautifully Blended Rainbow Card – Sketched Butterflies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love rainbow cards. Do you? They are bright, happy and fun. What is not to love? I made this rainbow by ink blending. The white butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies set pop against this colourful background.

My rainbow colours are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape. I found they blended easily into each other. What colours would you use?

Sketched Butterflies – How to Watercolour with Ink Pads

Sketched Butterflies – How to Watercolour with Ink Pads – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love butterflies and was so happy to see this new butterfly set in the catalogue. These gorgeous butterflies are watercoloured using the Stampin’ Up! ink pads. If you are going to watercolour, always remember to use suitable paper. I have used Fluid 100 watercolour paper here. Basic White won’t stand up to water as well as Fluid 100 and you are liable to get pilling of your paper.

One trick I employed here is to black heat emboss my images before I watercoloured them. This helps to keep the colour in the lines and stop it flowing everywhere.

How to Ink Blend Two Colours Together

How to Ink Blend Two Colours Together – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I like blending inks. You can make your own custom backgrounds so easily. I blended Lost Lagoon and Coastal Cabana here. I started off with the lighter colour and then blended in the darker colour, going back and forward between the two to achieve a blend.

The card below is a different colour way. The colours are Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral. Which do you like best?

Try Something New -Embossed Resist Technique

Try Something New – Embossed Resist Technique – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I felt like trying something new in my cardmaking. I have done the embossed resist technique a few times before but not for a long time.

Sponging ink on to my cardstock have always been a technique I struggled with. The sponge squeaks and it comes out super blotchy. I struggle to blend the colours. I was watching various videos on YouTube and I saw someone use these oval make up blending brushes. They work great!! I’m so chuffed.

I’ve embossed the background with clear embossing powder and the Stacked Stone background stamp set. When you sponge the ink, it will only take where there is no embossing. The clear embossed sections will resist the ink.
