Hello friends! I am in the process of figuring out where the last few months of blog posts went. But for now I have a  card welcoming a little one. This stamp set is called Swan Soiree from Lawn Fawn .  To get the clouds look like a gradient. I masked off the edges of the white cardstock. Then ink blended the panel using very light blue inks. The bottom has more of a blue green hue. Using the Cloud stencil from Lawn Fawn, rotating it in a different direction and applying a darker blue hue. I like to use the ink blending brushes from Taylored Expressions, but you can use your favorite to achieve the same look.  The swan and duck were stamped in black ink onto white cardstock and colored in with copic markers, and then set aside.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink, the pond was stamped in a turquoise ink, and the plants were stamped in green ink.  To finish the card, twine was tied around the front panel then adhered to the card front us...

Hi Friends! Just a clean and simple card today, with a technique.  I used 3 different inks and a mini blending tool, to create the background. The trick is to use the ink lightly and to keep building it up until you like the color.  This does take a little bit of time to create a seamless blend, but its worth it.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink, as well as the images.  I colored the images in with copic markers, cut them out and then adhered them to the card using foam adhesive.  To embellish, I added some twine in the corner.

I don't know about you, but it seems like a lot of people I know are either pregnant or just having a baby lol.  So this stamp set is perfect timing for me and all of the baby cards I need to make.  To create the background on the pink card stock, i stamped the images using Versamark ink.  VersaMark is a watermark ink pad, which is really cool.  I paper pieced the little dress using the Lawn Fawn plaid pattern paper, and the sentiment is actually two different stamps, there is another stamp that says "baby boy" so this is a very versatile set.  It is for boys and girls.
