Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop - November

Hi Crafters!

Welcome to the November Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop! This month the theme is Sorry, Sympathy & Get Well cards. I have chosen to make Sympathy cards with the beautiful Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper & teamed it with the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set.

I have used a few different patterns from the gorgeous Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper. The Early Espresso background, the leaf print (cut with the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits), the fussy cut sunflower & the watercoloured Peekaboo Peach (cut with the 2" Circle Punch). The sentiment is from the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set, inked with Early Espresso & propped up on Dimensionals.

I have added Gold Metallic Thread, Gold Foil (fussy cut banner) & Gold Year of Cheer Embellishments (branches). I have also added the Tranquil Tide Finely Woven Ribbon, tied in a bow.

Some simple stamping on the inside using the another sentiment & floral image from the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set, inked in Soft Sky & Early Espresso on a Very Vanilla card base & envelope.

I hope you have enjoyed my card & that you can hop around & visit all the lovely people below. Please leave a little blog love along the way xx

Some tips for using your Blends: 

• Opposites attract! Stampin' Blends are alcohol markers, so you need to use a water based ink. Tuxedo Black Momento ink is perfect for this. 
• Archival Black ink is alcohol based, so it will blend/bleed if you use it with your Stampin' Blends. Archival Black is better suited to using with our water based Classic Stampin' Pads & Stampin' Write Markers.
• Stampin' Blends work perfectly for all your alcohol ink techniques with Glossy Paper. 
• For a matte finish, use Thick Whisper White cardstock. The ink will show through on the other side, so to achieve the best look, adhere your piece with Dimensionals or layer it & use a piece of scrap or Grid Paper to cover your work surface
• Have fun colouring in all those pretty stamp sets with outlined images, use the Just Add Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper or the specifically designed Color Me Happy Kit & Stamps.
