Happy Friday, crafty friends! Just wanted to pop in and share a fun card I created awhile back that features some fun ink blending! I've used a layering stencil set that technically has both a coordinating hot foil plate and die, but I've used it alone to create this really dreamy background!
You can actually purchase this set (along with quite a few other designs) for 35% off this week! Just be sure to use the code A2STCL35 upon check-out in order to receive the savings. Code is valid through next Thursday, or while supplies last. :)
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)

Stencil 2: Ballet Slipper
Stencil 3: Candy Violet Stencil

Stencil 1: Ballet Slipper

Stencil 3: Coral Reef
Stencil4: Aquamarine
Stencil 5: Candy Violet (small flowers) & Apricot (flower centers)
TIP: There are two reason why I choose to double stamp when ink blending with layering stencils. The first pertains specifically to Detail Black, or any hybrid ink. They give AMAZINGLY crisp impressions, but they need time to dry. If you tried ink blending over top of something stamped in a hybrid ink immediately, it would smear. Secondly, I feel like ink blending over top of a stamped image makes it less crisp. But I like having the stamped outline as a guide - so double stamping is the perfect answer to this! And with our stamping platforms, it's super easy to do!
Before I close up, I wanted to mention that my Crafty Sale page is updated, and I'm also currently work on my FAVORITES page! It currently only has my Amazon list, and my must haves for ink & ink blending...but my hope is to have it completley finished soon. Shopping from my links is FREE for you while I earn a small commission. This helps me keep my website running & so much more. Thank you so much for your support!
