Creating easy stamped initiatives with ink pads has all the time been a favourite means for me to play. Getting inky simply fits my have to make a multitude and be expressive with colour. I created a collection of playing cards to present for birthdays and hope they encourage you to get inky too!
I actually loved engaged on these enjoyable backgrounds and love how superbly these stamps work collectively for such enjoyable patterns. The daring flowers and punch of black actually makes the completed playing cards pop, one thing that’s particularly enjoyable for birthdays.
Subsequent, I poured over my Misery Ink Pads to decide on three analogous colours in 4 colorways. I hoped to each encourage you in your favourite colours AND to present you many choices if in case you have a restricted number of ink pads. I hope you just like the palettes I picked: Saltwater Taffy, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio. Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch. And at last, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves.
You may discover I attempted to overlap colour decisions the place doable. When utilizing water based mostly inks on this means, it is often finest to select colours close to to one another on the colour wheel to keep away from making muds when the colours combine. I lower my 4 card panels from an 8.5×11″ piece of Bristol cardstock so I might find yourself with 4 completed creations.
The method for every card follows the identical course of. First I tapped the lightest colour twice and elements of the 2 darker colours as soon as, all proper subsequent to one another onto my kraft mat. I spritzed them with water a number of mists, then dipped the panel into the colours.
It will have been actually easy to do a complete sheet of card with one colour as a masterboard, after which lower into 4 panels after. If that’s simpler for you, then go for it!
I liked this look straight away, however added some further stamping. I stamped the crosses and scribble circles over in stable inks with out the bleeding approach.
