Make It Monday #114: Blown Ink + Fusion #4

I wasn't going to play along with the Make It Monday #114 : Blown Ink because I don't have any reinkers. I do have a couple of Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays (Mustard and Primrose) that haven't seen much use, so decided to play a bit and see if I could achieve some sort of usable design.

After a few panels went in the recycling bin, and I had a better feel for how the ink would behave, I came up with this panel.



The top of the panel was sprayed after I finished blowing the ink - I wanted a solid block of color under the negative of the "hello" die cut.



That Color Shine really does have a great color saturation and glimmer!

My second card is for the Fusion Card Challenge #4, and I fused the sketch and inspiration photo to create a card.






This is a card started with the half doily and really built itself very quickly. I am not 100% sold on the enamel dots on the sentiment strip, but love everything else about this card.

This one is also being entered in the Simon Says Stamp challenge as Anything Goes this week.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

  6. Love the pretty blossoms on your Fusion card, and also the colors you've used in your PTI card! I thought that looked like such a fun challenge...just can't think of any PTI stuff I have that would work for this technique. The negative die cut 'hello' was a great idea! Great cards!

  8. What stunning cards. Love the 'blowing technique'. The flowers on your second card look beautiful with the doily behind them. You even used my favorite edger die!
