Ink Smooshing for Bright Bold Pops of Color

Hello crafty friends! Today I whipped up a quick card for a two challenges. Over in the Stamp Junkies Facebook group there was a challenge to make a card with pink, orange, turquoise and white. I decided to use an old favorite technique to add some quick bold color. I did some ink smooshing with acrylic blocks. If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'm sharing an older video with the technique. I love my flower shaped blocks because they are comfortable to grip and make a great shape for this technique. Once I had some great bold color I decided to tie in the Lawnscaping challenge to use watercolor. I used my Distress Inks to watercolor the little cup and then fussy cut it out for a quick and simple card.

One Layer Card with Masking for Lawnscaping Challenge 114

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card for the latest Lawnscaping challenge. Today's challenge is one layer! We want to see how you use your Lawn Fawn stamps directly on your card base to make a one layer card. This is such a tricky challenge butit can be fun to go outside your comfort zone. So for today's card I stamped and colored some of the fun images from Blue Skies. Check out my video for more on this card. 

As you saw in the video there was a lot of masking to give this one layer card dimension. Also a quick tip when you are trying to blend out to white with Distress Ink try to use a light touch with only a small amount of ink on your blending tool. You can always add more color.

The sponsor for this challenge is Lawn Fawn. They are offering a free stamp set of choice for the winner. Thank you Lawn Fawn for your support!
