Using different coloured inks onto plain card can really bring some colour and texture to your card.

You will need:

• Blu Navy Nettuno Linen Effect Card 280gsm
• White Card Super Smooth 250gsm
• Black Plain Card 240gsm
• Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm
• Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue 60ml

You will also need:

• Flower Stamps (Uniquely Creative)
• Bunny Stamps (Uniquely Creative)
• Happy Birthday Stamp (Uniquely Creative)
• Pigment Inks (Blue, Black, Purple)
• Sponge
• White Paint
• Copic Markers
• White Embossing Powder (WOW)
• Heat Gun
• Sequins

To make the card base I trimmed my card base using Blu Navy Nettuno Linen Effect Card 280gsm to 4 1/8" X 5 7/8". I then trimmed down a smaller piece of card using White Card Super Smooth 250gsm for my card panel. I also stamped my images onto a piece of White Card Super Smooth 250gsm and coloured them in. I then trimmed the images out and placed aside.

To ink blend the background I picked up the inks with a sponge and started working on the edges and slowly blended the colours to the middle. I then added some splashes of white paint. Once this was dry I adhered this to my card using Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm.

I then adhered the coloured images to the card using some more Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm.

I then used a piece of Black Plain Card 240gsm to heat emboss the sentiment. Trim this down and adhere to your card.

To finish off the card I adhered some sequins using Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue 60ml.

Your card is now complete.
