Ink & Inspiration - Let Your Colour Shine


Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Melva Peters from Canada. I hope you enjoy my card featuring the You're a Peach Product Suite from the Annual Catalogue.  Our theme for this months blog hop was "Let Your Colour Shine".  I think I did that with this pretty card.  I used the Masking Tape Technique to create the bright and colourful background and then added the beautiful peaches and a sentiment.  So easy!


Instructions

  1. Cut Balmy Blue cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and fold in half to form card base.
  2. Cut Pale Papaya cardstock 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base using Stampin' Seal.
  3. Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  4. Pick up ink using about 8-10" of Masking Tape - mine was about 1" wide, but you can use any width or even varying widths from ink pads - I used Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue
  5. Trim your piece to 3 3/4" x 5" and adhere to card base using Stampin' Seal.
  6. Stamp 3 peaches using Pale Papaya Ink on Basic White cardstock - apply a small amount of Calypso Coral to each peach using a Sponge Dauber before stamping
  7. Stamp leaves using Old Olive Ink
  8. Cut peaches and leaves out using Dies.
  9. Adhere leaves to card base using Stampin' Seal.
  10. Adhere peaches to leaves using Dimensionals.
  11. Stamp sentiment on a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Calypso Coral ink
  12. Cut out using Paper Snips.
