Hello!

Ink Blot Shop has a new release today and I’m sharing a few cards made using two new cute stamp sets! The first set is called Botanical Borders. I love that there are a variety of borders for different seasons and climates.

My first card uses the tulip border. I stamped the image twice and Copic-colored all the images with the same colors.

After coloring, I fussy-cut the images so that I could adhere them to an ink-blended card panel with foam tape.

I ink-blended the card panel underneath with Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Inks. I spritzed some water and after it dried, I stamped and embossed the sentiment going across the panel as straight and as evenly as I could.

You can’t tell from these photos, but there is strip of acetate between the two tulip borders over the top of the embossed sentiment. To add extra interest, I added white gel highlights and some pink jewels.

My second card is much more clean and simple. I stamped the spring-like border on the bottom of a card panel and colored it with Copic markers as well.

After coloring, I splattered the panel with black ink and simple stamped the sentiment and added a few jewels to complete the card.

My third card uses the Food For Thought stamp set.

I love punny food sets and have a few food ones but I haven’t had time to use them! This was the perfect opportunity for me to make something with fruit!

I stamped the image of the orange and orange slice and colored them with Copic markers. Then I fussy cut it out to work on a watercolored background.

The background is created with a light wash of Sunshine and Clementine liquid watercolor from Pinkfresh Studios. The colors are sooo pigmented (which is a good thing) and a little goes a long way.

After allowing the panel to dry, I stamped the images all over the panel with Versamark ink and embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I went over each of the images using a light touch of orange watercolor to give them a bit of depth for extra interest. The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I hope you enjoyed these projects and that you’ll check out Tifany’s store at The Ink Blot Shop! She’s a wonderful small business owner and friend and I’d love to see her succeed with her cute designs!
