I made this card for the weekly Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge using ink and Blending Brushes and the Courage & Faith Stamp Set. I love how it turned out.

 
 

Here’s the sketch I used. You can see all the projects posted for this week’s challenge by clicking on the sketch below.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Basic Black Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Shy Shamrock Layer - 3 7/8 x 5 1/8

  • Basic White Layer - 3 3/4 x 5

  • Cardstock - 3 1/2 x 3 3/4, die cut a large circle. I used the Spotlight On Nature Dies. You will lay this piece over the white layer. Use a piece of Post-It Note or Washi Tape to hold it in place. Use a Blending Brush to add ink to the circle. I used Azure Afternoon ink.

  • Cardstock - 3 x 3 1/4, die cut a smaller circle. Repeat the above steps using a different color ink. I used Shy Shamrock ink.

  • Die cut the smaller circle again using a piece of scrap or Post-It Note. Lay it over the small circle. Lay the cardstock that you used to cut the large circle over the layer. This will help when stamping the images so you don’t get ink outside the circle. Stamp the floral images in Black Memento ink.

  • Stamp the sentiment on the green circle in Black Memento ink.

  • Adhere the white layer to the green layer and then to the card base.

  • Add some Iridescent Pearls.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4), stamp and floral images in Black Memento ink.

 
 

I love using our Blending Brushes to add ink to my cards!
