Ink Blended Anniversary Card + Video

Hi everyone! Rebecca here with a super easy ink blended anniversary card. To start off I grabbed the Fancy Lattice Stencil and placed it over an A2 piece of white cardstock. Using a blending brush and Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade ink, I lightly blended ink over the stencil. This light blend creates a pretty subtle background for the card.

Next I used the Floral Semicircle Dies and cut both the stitched semicircle and the floral semicircle dies out of white card stock. I held the stitched semicircle in place on my Waffle Flower grip mat and blended three colors of Distress Oxide ink (Kitsch Flamingo, Saltwater Taffy and Mustard Seed) on top. Again I used blending brushes and started off with a very light blend. I went back over each color lightly adding several layers of color and making sure that I blended out any harsh lines between the colors.

I adhered the floral Semicircle on top of the stitched semicircle using fine lines of liquid adhesive and then adhered that over the stenciled background. The flat edge of the semicircle lines up perfectly with the side of an A2 card. I die cut a bow out of white cardstock using the Beautiful Bows Dies and popped it up on the rounded edge of the semicircle. Then I used the Sentiment Strips Occasions Stamp Set to stamp a “Happy Anniversary” sentiment in black ink on white cardstock. I die cut that sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Dies. Finally I adhered a smattering of Clear Confetti Mix (my absolute favorite embellishment to add to just about any card) for some shine! I hope you’ll give these ink blending techniques a try!

Happy crafting!
