Canada Inks Up! May 2022 Blog Hop-In Colors Blessing of Home

I’m so excited to be participating in the May Canada Inks Up Blog Hop.

We are a group of Canadian Demonstrators, that love sharing our ideas in hope to inspire you. This month’s theme is the 2022-2024 In Colors. I love the New In Colors and I decided to once again try my hand at water coloring. I’m not very good at it, but I was so pleased with how it turned out and how all the New In Colors worked together.

Details on creating this card:

1. Card base is the New In Color Starry Sky cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. Designers Series Paper layer is the New 6 x 6 In Color Assortment pack in Tahitian Tide
3. Vellum layer is the 12 x 12 Layering Design, die cut using the Stitched With Whimsy die set (this set does not cut out the image, it just scores, fussy cut around the stitched layer) attach with Stampin Seal in an area that will be covered by the stamped image
4. Stamp the image from Blessings of Home stamp set on Fluid Water Color paper with Stazon Ink so it can be water colored and not bleed
5. The image is colored with Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Mango Melody and Parakeet Party
6. Die cut the image out with the Flowers of Home dies
7. Attach the image to the Vellum layer with dimensionals
8. On a scrape of Basic White card stock, stamp a sentiment from the Go To Greeting in Versa Mark and heat emboss in Silver embossing powder. Fussy cut the sentiment out and attach to card with dimensionals
9. Make a couple of loops from the Silver Simply Elegant Trim and attach them to the card with glue dots
10. Place some Iridescent Rhinestones on the card to add some bling
