Ink and Inspiration - April 2022 - Colour Challenge / Stamping With Melva

Ink and Inspiration - April 2022 - Colour Challenge

Thursday, 28 April 2022

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Melva Peters from Canada.

For our hop this month, we were challenged to create a card using Pear Pizzazz, Bermuda Bay, Misty Moonlight, Rich Razzleberry and Blushing Bride - or at least some of these colours. I think I managed to get all of the colours in my card featuring the Stampin' Up! Cactus Cuties Stamp Set.

Check out my card - I've used masking to create the 3D look to the card where one of the plants is behinde the other!

Instructions

Cut Rich Razzleberry card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". Fold on score line to form card base.
Cut Blushing Bride card stock 4" x 5 1/4".
Cut Basic White card stock 3 3/4" x 5"
Use Decorative Mask to add pattern to Basic White card stock using Blushing Bride ink and Blending Brush.
