Hello crafty friends! Welcome back to Floral Friday. Today I am sharing a floral card featuring stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink. As I’ve told you in previous posts, I am not fond of coloring with watercolor pencils or Copic Markers, that is just not where my talents lie. I have been watching a lot of videos using the ink smooshing technique, so I thought I would give it a try.
I used the Into the Blooms: Iris Die set, Tuck It Sentiments stamps and coordinating dies. After die cutting all of the Iris pieces, I started inking up a piece of plastic with some distress ink and then spritzing the ink with water. After my surface was ready, I took my dies and started smooshing them into the ink. I continued ink smooshing until I achieved the color that I wanted. I did allow it to dry for a few minutes between each smooshing.
I used a scalloped die set from Taylored Expressions and the same inks to blend the background. I then die cut the tuck it die and started assembling the card. After the card was assembled, I used some perfect pearls with water to give it some shine. Below are all the supplies used, I hope you enjoyed today’s Floral Friday.
