Blog Hop Touches of Ink June 2021

 

Hello, friends! Welcome to the June Touches of Ink Blog Hop, hosted by Simone Kleine. Perhaps you have just come from Liane Gorny's blog.

This month, we are featuring the Expressions in Ink Suite. I think this is probably my favourite suite in our new Annual Catalogue. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this suite is absolutely stunning, and shows gorgeous alcohol ink photos, many accented with streaks of gold. In fact, it is so beautiful that a piece of it glued on a card base with a sentiment would make a lovely card! The Artistically Inked stamp set is Distinktive, which means that it creates different opacities in a single stamped image.

The base of my card is a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock, scored at 4-1/4". I adhered a 5-5/16" x 4-1/16" piece of Magenta Madness cardstock to the base, then added a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" layer of DSP.

The rose images are stamped on Magenta Madness with Magenta Madness ink and then cut with our Artistic Dies; the leaves and small flowers are stamped on Basic White with Shaded Spruce and Magenta Madness, and then die cut, as well. I used two of the gold foil pieces from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack, then arranged the flowers, leaves, and foil pieces--popping up the large rose and two of the small flowers with Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark, embossed with gold embossing powder, and then set with a heat tool. Three small Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the centres of the small flower.

Here is a photo of the Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP--it is even more beautiful when you see it in person!!
