Easter Cards featuring Distress Oxide Ink Pads
Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I have two simple yet elegant Easter cards featuring the Easter Blessings stamp set and coordinating dies.
I started working on these cards by stamping a cross image onto white paper. I used my mini MISTI stamp positioner and Simon Says stamp Intense black ink. Because I knew I will be coloring my image using Copic markers I picked this particular ink formula – it doesn’t bleed when it comes in contact with alcohol. Before I did my coloring I cut the cross image out using a coordinating die.
For my coloring I used Copic Markers. I used green for the leaves and I picked YG67, YG17 and YG03. To color the cross itself I used browns. I went with E79, E37 and E33.
I decided to make 4 Bar cards today instead of A2 (4 Bar card size is 3 1/2 x 4 7/8 “). I also made a slightly smaller panel and I used kraft paper. I feel that kraft is a fantastic color to use for easter cards as it looks very natural. I also find 4 Bar card size to be perfect for those smaller size stamps we all have in our stash.
I used Distress Oxide ink to create a partial ink blended background. I wanted to create a very soft and muted look so for this I picked kraft paper and Distress Oxide ink in Peeled Paint. I wanted to have a gradual transition from Peeled Paint to kraft and I wanted the top left corner to be covered completely in green, I didn’t want the little fibers embedded in kraft to show through and they would if I had decided to use regular distress ink so this is why I picked Oxide ink.
I stamped a beautiful Easter Blessings sentiment using Versafine Onyx black ink. After foam mounting kraft panel onto card base I foam mounted the cross and embellished me card using Sparkling Clear confetti mix. I added a few of those flat sequin circles onto my background, I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and Crystal Katana tool.
