So the first thing I did was take a piece of card stock and cut it into an A2 size card front and I cut it from Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth card stock. In the video I shared Ranger is using the Distress Oxide inks which I don't have any (yet!) so I used my regular Distress inks. I used Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, and Fossilized Amber. I also used one Memento Dew Drop ink, Lady Bug. I stamped my greeting " Autumn teaches that change can be Beautiful" in Rich Cocoa before I started ink blending. I am telling you this because I initially did my blending first and then dropped the stamp when I was getting ready to stamp sooooo I got out my Misti and stamped first. I used the Ranger blending tool with round foam sponges to do the blending. I started with Antique Linen, then Spiced Marmalade, and finally Peeled Paint. Once I had my colors down, I went back over it with Antique Linen to try and smooth the blending. I took my Lady Bug ink and went around the edges of the card. I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in the color Ripened Pumpkin. I wanted the card to have a little sparkle so I took two of my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens in Hearthside and Moonshine. I tapped the pen on the side of my finger to create drops of sparkle on the card. At first I thought the red was too much but once it dried I was happy with how it turned out. On the inside, I stamped "turn over a new leaf every day." with Rich Cocoa again. My card base is cut from Orange Peel card stock, cut at 4 1/14 and scored at 5 1/2 and is a side fold card.
So that is my card for today. Just a little bit about what is to come; I am currently planning a Holiday series which I hope to film and post some videos for a few of the cards I do and my plan is bring you a couple Autumn/Thanksgiving cards too! I am loving my stamps from The Project Bin so I hope you check them out! Thanks for stopping by today
Come and create something with me,
Andi
