Altenew-Easy Ink Blending

Hello and welcome to today's post.

Today's card was inspired by the Altenew Easy Ink Blending class. This class is all about achieving great ink blending projects. Having the proper paper and ink blending tools are key to achieving the best results. I would also recommend trying the Distress Oxide inks as they are very easy and forgiving.

 Oxide inks are a special blend of pigment and dye ink which makes them very forgiving for crafters new to ink blending. Not only are they easy to use but they are also water-reactive, creating an oxidized effect when sprayed with water. Blending can be accomplished with either a blending brush or an ink bending tool. 

Listed are the Distress colors:

Mustard Seed

Picked Rasberry

Seedless Preserves

Salty Ocean

The flower and leaves are from the Altenew Build-A-Flower Hibiscus stamp set and cut out with the coordinating die set. Foam tape was used to adhere the images for added dimension. 

Once the background was completely dry, I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. Remember to use an anti-static power tool to remove any and all static cling. 

To finish off the card, I adhered some clear jewels from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card and I can't wait to see all your ink blending projects.
