Hi all! As promised I've got more to share with you today using the In Bloom stamp and stencil set from Concord and 9th.
Today's cards feature a simple color blocking technique.
These are so easy to create and I love the rustic look of them.
I started by taking a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock and cutting it in have widthwise.
The stencil mask was sprayed with Pixie Spray and placed on the cardstock.
Then I used Post-it tape/Post-its to mask off portions of the panel for inking. I started with the largest area, fully inked it, then masked off the smaller portions. For the vertical card I used Faded Jeans, Weathered Wood, and Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. For the horizontal card, I used Bundled Sage, Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap.
Once my panels were inked, I removed the mask. The Pixie Spray will sometimes leave a bit of residue on your cardstock, so I just used a gum eraser to remove any bits that were remaining.
Then I placed my panels into the MISTI, placed the image on top, and inked. I like to experiment a bit with my inks, so I used Versafine for the vertical card and Altenew black ink for the horizontal. I think I like the Versafine better as it gives a crisper look, but I wanted to see how the Altenew held up. I think it stamped just fine, but shows a little lighter since it's dye, but htat worked with the more rustic colors I used on the horizontal card.
The vertical card was finished with a sentiment from Concord and 9th's Pretty Poppy stamp set, and I used a sentiment from Altenew's Arabesque Medallion set for the other.
I'm not done with these goodies yet. I'll have some more to share next week!
