Smooshing

Guest Kim Taylor blended inks and powders, smooshing away to create the background on today’s card.

From Kim:

For this sweet A2 card I pulled a background panel out of my stash that has a lot of shimmer and is done in blues and oranges and just made me think of spring. That little mouse holding the flowers from the Flowers and Smiles Stamp set, said ‘use me please’, so of course I had to.   The sentiments are also from the same stamp set. I used pigment ink on the panel so that it would give a crisp image on the mix of mediums. The image is coloured with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers, then cropped down and matted on black cardstock. I love to mat something this bright on black as it just makes the colours really pop.  Sat sideways on a coral background attached to the card base I added some Pop Dots behind the Sweet Friend sentiment and some sparkly Gumdrops for the finishing touches.  I hope this card makes you smile!

One of the things I love to do when I hit a creative blank, is to get out my messy stuff and make oooooodles of backgrounds.  Then when I have a project in mind or just the urge to create, I have lots of inspiration at my fingertips! This panel came from a session of smooshing inks and mica powders.  Though I had some doubt when I started, I am very happy with the end result.

Father’s Day Take Two

Guest Kim Taylor has another Father’s Day card for us today, this one has the other 2 pet groupings from the Photo Booth Thumbs Up Stamp set.

From Kim:

I had so much fun making last week’s card with the Photo Booth Thumbs Up Stamp and Die set that I had to make a second!!  I ink blended the 6×6 Paw Prints Stencil on an A2 panel of Hammermill 100 lb cardstock and trimmed it down to 4″ x 2.75″ getting two pieces to make two cards.   I wanted to keep the cards on the clean and simple side so that these cute critters from the Photo Booth Thumbs Up set really had a chance to shine!    Accented with YNS Gumdrops from the Perfect Blend and Latte sets.
