How To Create A Custom Background With The Artistically Inked Stamp Set

 Hi Friends!

 

 

 

Wow, I completely missed getting my blog post out for Monday, December 6th. So here it is. My apologies for being late.

I decided I would like to make a card using the Artistically Inked stamp set, Artistic Dies, and not use the Expressions In Ink Specialty designer paper. I just wanted to use the stamps as they are intended and I think the result is quite pretty. 

I was inspired for this card by one I saw by my friend Wendy Lee in the USA. I changed it up a bit to make it my own, and changed the colours quite a bit.  The background blotch in the stamp set is absolutely perfect for doing a custom background.  And you can overlap it and it still looks amazing.

Watch the video below to see what I did to the background after I created it!  You are going to be amazed at how much it looks like the specialty designer paper when it isn't!  I chose Evening Evergreen for the ink colour.

 Here's a close up of the background for you.

Expressions In Ink Card Share

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our Crafty Challenge Blog Hop!

Each month we get inspiration from a picture or colour or object. This month our inspiration is the new 2021-23 In Colours, and oh my goodness am I in love with these colours!

Once I pick up any of the 5 In Colours, I have to force myself to put them down and use other colours as well.

I created this lovely card as a swap card with my Team and "Silver Sisters" and I thought I would share it with you.

I used Polished Pink on this one, and some of the absolutely the most beautiful designer paper called Expressions In Ink Specialty!  It has gold foiling on every single sheet.  The worst part is, I had a terrible time trying to figure out which pattern I was going to use!

Last Monday I shared how to do this during my Make It Monday live stamping in my VIP Group.

Everyone loved it, and I am sure you will too.

Here's the video from that tutorial, please enjoy.  If you like what you see, please consider subscribing to my YouTube Channel.  I go live there every Tuesday morning at 10 am (PT) with exclusive YouTube only projects!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
