Mixed Blooms Thank You

 

Over at Taylored Expressions today, the free with purchase items from the last few months are now available for purchase.

The card I am sharing today is from the Mixed Blooms layering stencil along with the Little Bits Mixed Blooms. The stencil is 3 separate pieces which really allow the crafter to come up with so many options. The ink was applied to the lavender glaze card base. There are a few ways to get a bold ink blend when using a darker cardstock. You can first go over the stencil with a white pigment ink, like sugar cube. Let the ink dry and then go over it again with your water based ink. Or you can use something like distress oxide inks. Both work great. Once the ink dried, with a white pen I made little marks inside some of the flowers for contrast. The "thank you" was stamped in coordinating lavender glaze ink onto sugar cube cardstock, then die cut out and adhered to the card. The diecut mixed blooms were then added around the sentiment for added interest.
