In 2017, I had a little venture into drawing birds. I drew a cardinal, a blue jay, and a mountain bluebird. After drawing three birds, I ventured on to the next thing. Then a few weeks ago I dusted off my bird art and created stickers to sell at the local gift shop. </div><div><br /></div><div>Kind of unexpectedly, this inspired me to pick up my colored pencils and create a new bird piece. Settle in and let me tell you a little story about the decision to draw a mostly black bird, the red-winged blackbird. </div><div><br /></div><div>Before my Dad passed away, passed away 19 years ago, he had a conversation with my oldest brother about red-winged blackbirds. After all these years I don't remember the details and the memory can play tricks. In the cloudy memory, there is something about my brother seeing a flock of them take flight the day Dad passed. The details have been lost to time, but the meaning and symbolism of the red-winged blackbird became a memorial of sorts and a reminder of my dad.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fast forward to April of this year when we made a trip home for my Mom's memorial. The day we were driving to my brother's ranch, I received a text from my best friend. Photos he'd taken of red-winged blackbirds during a field survey, having no knowledge of its symbolism to our family. That same day, when we arrived at the ranch red-winged blackbirds were everywhere. I watched them, I listened to them, I was drawn into my memories with them. <br /><br />One evening, after Mom's memorial, we were talking about Mom passing and reminiscing, my brother told the story of the day Mom died. He was holding mom's hand and they saw a flock of red-winged blackbirds out the window. Mom took her last breath and let go. My brother teared up a bit and smiled. We knew the birds came to guide her home.</div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YxyhciPz5RdIPSd9wzCn547bFUWOyWupws3uMpYDZt1LbnAmIbL6cnXouv2tBMhxsXPzr2Vvw4pYyjNaKHdkHm5cP9stk8oXYXjG-FTOOzoe91JiJX52mqX2v7dETnZjBPFSV17EO0y3M8gkws-oybnCsv9BYBGwZ8co3YkfTbI4RtkyvHINn5cIoyc/s4032/IMG_1325.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YxyhciPz5RdIPSd9wzCn547bFUWOyWupws3uMpYDZt1LbnAmIbL6cnXouv2tBMhxsXPzr2Vvw4pYyjNaKHdkHm5cP9stk8oXYXjG-FTOOzoe91JiJX52mqX2v7dETnZjBPFSV17EO0y3M8gkws-oybnCsv9BYBGwZ8co3YkfTbI4RtkyvHINn5cIoyc/w300-h400/IMG_1325.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>In Wyoming, these are fairly common birds, but where I live in Alaska I've never seen them. If I was going to draw this bird would need a reference photo. I searched my texts, only to discover I'd deleted the original message with the photo he sent me in April. I had him resend them, which I somehow deleted a second time. Rather than ask him to resend them a third time I went in search of a reference photo. When I found one perched on a cattail I knew I'd found the right one.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I was a kid we lived by the river and the cattails seemed to always be filled with red-winged blackbirds and yellow-headed blackbirds. I have fond childhood memories of red-winged blackbirds perched on cattails and walking by the river with my dad. </div><div><br /></div><div>With a reference photo found, I started my piece by opening the reference photo in Procreate and outlining the big basic shapes. This helped me get a feel for how to lay out my outline, to get the angle and the proportions correct. </div><div><br /></div><div>Once my outline was drawn, I pulled colors from my Derwent Colour-Soft pencils. This was my first large project with these pencils, and I can say that while they are a lovely smooth pencil to color with. They are very soft, layer extremely well, and lay down color beautifully. Because they layer so well it was easy to add in details with lighter colors.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-11u-gEdyYD-0HWrcu1w1FW8e3aLRA4gw2SEEzjGwy_9ck8mwGI4Es4YNYAMml8iko2NmoEjbuMVxKKQVDlu7CJY-EsZY1T11mfRKXptB0GvOOWK9rI0IUxMfD0G10B9J3luheq7ycCSS6IhTrOemdJRZZby0gG23aY1xG3ThlHAVa-RIZvFN8GJqy8k/s4032/IMG_1327.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-11u-gEdyYD-0HWrcu1w1FW8e3aLRA4gw2SEEzjGwy_9ck8mwGI4Es4YNYAMml8iko2NmoEjbuMVxKKQVDlu7CJY-EsZY1T11mfRKXptB0GvOOWK9rI0IUxMfD0G10B9J3luheq7ycCSS6IhTrOemdJRZZby0gG23aY1xG3ThlHAVa-RIZvFN8GJqy8k/w300-h400/IMG_1327.JPG" width="300" /></a></div></div><div>Colored pencil isn't usually a medium I'm drawn to using, but for some reason, I love drawing and coloring birds with them. Maybe it has to do with a deep-seated memory of a bird I drew in Eight Grade Art Class. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm happy with the results. I see room for growth and improvement, but it's a beautiful piece of art for my current skill level. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'll be turning this gem into a sticker to go with my other three. Let me know if you'd like to see stickers for sale in my online shop? Drop me a note below and let me know what kind of stickers or artwork you'd like to see in the future. I'm experimenting with several styles with various mediums, including digital with the Procreate app on my iPad.</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy Creating!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV4YaEGo48f52vY27ALLJehrSRyjCOh1rDfV1veLmduHfGflv3nSqRb-4bpztS5wAZbA-_r4zQr_vbG8JuaYJsrR4zxk3HfLtFoefBX8fUSefDhKzWJoKpkACGJdlwqQsOR2CqTKlWmn83DyBrUYt1_h3cVBFqwgNULOtsKVjjPnOAJfvWx_ibFZ5eKI4/s780/newsletter%20sig.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="390" data-original-width="780" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV4YaEGo48f52vY27ALLJehrSRyjCOh1rDfV1veLmduHfGflv3nSqRb-4bpztS5wAZbA-_r4zQr_vbG8JuaYJsrR4zxk3HfLtFoefBX8fUSefDhKzWJoKpkACGJdlwqQsOR2CqTKlWmn83DyBrUYt1_h3cVBFqwgNULOtsKVjjPnOAJfvWx_ibFZ5eKI4/w320-h160/newsletter%20sig.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>SLMPetersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238728005511643751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526175554820428199.post-91604740395652525302023-08-14T06:00:00.004-08:002023-08-14T06:00:00.147-08:00August 2023 Update<p> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: black; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mceBlockContainer" style="padding: 12px 24px 6px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><div class="mceText" data-block-id="14" id="dataBlockId-14" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve; width: 612px;"><p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Hello Inky Admirer,</span></p><p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;"><br /></p><p class="last-child" style="direction: ltr; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Where has our summer started to run off to?

June was a bit more rainy than I’d liked, but the true summer days have been beautiful. The end of July was a hot one for this part of the country and as we move into August we seem to be approaching the rainy season.</span></p></div></td></tr><tr><td class="mceBlockContainer" style="background-color: transparent;

I've grown so much in the last four years. The on the fence off the fence battle that's been going on in my head for over a year has finally ended, and I've finally hopped the fence. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPpt3p1zrcEhF-yQBUZKHSLqO0NWqPe61V_O6pbcjUJLj60iT7KxQs03SwdKTTYahX7jedWz0Vv6_yMotP5Q3zhKhZZX_9v66t8d20Abs58uqiyssfOEM0RtVIR0ZzRNM1aFbVz4bG1IcE944Hgm5YNKdPGFW02sRqHtf6kFh_sye3AKPwzawsrfe5sk/s4032/70788925002__C3E51E9C-B207-4E12-9D52-5892C431B747.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPpt3p1zrcEhF-yQBUZKHSLqO0NWqPe61V_O6pbcjUJLj60iT7KxQs03SwdKTTYahX7jedWz0Vv6_yMotP5Q3zhKhZZX_9v66t8d20Abs58uqiyssfOEM0RtVIR0ZzRNM1aFbVz4bG1IcE944Hgm5YNKdPGFW02sRqHtf6kFh_sye3AKPwzawsrfe5sk/w400-h300/70788925002__C3E51E9C-B207-4E12-9D52-5892C431B747.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>If you're new here and you haven't read the other articles in the Heart to Art series, let's take a brief trip back in time. Remember when I shared my story <a href="https://www.inked-inspirations.com/2022/03/heart-to-art-part-1-back-story.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and I talked a little about wrestling a two-headed dragon? Then in <a href="https://www.inked-inspirations.com/2022/03/heart-to-art-part-2-were-here.html" target="_blank">part two</a>, I talked a bit about that dragon. I walked you into <a href="https://www.inked-inspirations.com/2022/04/heart-to-art-part-3-whats-next.html" target="_blank">part three</a>, talking about what was next, and then into <a href="https://www.inked-inspirations.com/2022/04/heart-to-art-part-4-sustainability.html" target="_blank">part four</a>, where I talked about sustainability and creating more than cards. After I wrote part four, I let the guilt talk me into staying with card making and continuing to buy everything to make the cards. Ya'll, I've been creating cards on and off for nearly 30 years. It's comfortable and a known quantity. The switch to making my own art is scary and unnerving, but we all know the magic happens on the other side of that fear.<p></p><p>I've battled through some guilt. If I'm honest, I'm still battling guilt. The guilt of feeling selfish in the desire to pursue creativity for the sake of creating. Feeling guilty that I'll disappoint my best friend, who's also a cardmaker. Guilt for having a strong urge to shut down a side hustle so many others have come to know and love. </p><p>I've had these feelings in my head and heart for a long time now, and I can no longer ignore my desire to make more art. I've tried squishing small works on card fronts, but the truth is I don't love that. I love the cards. I know you love the cards, but I want more. I have a longing to create for the sake of creating, to make for the sake of making.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYJkYWH6Q-2f7bxLvbPWL9TaoAw_Gc27s6X0ILfIiJ-4we0poh2IydCinjMB41BY5S818WM4j0MKjIe8Y3gWNPXjXOljwJFtEwU96hvyB-mTHs9M_nbelfJRP_2EAyXElc4q2rg1MO04tN8JGTngzRvuKL5uP_I9Of6Sdcq-HcjLntH7Hu50qC-3-rQC0/s4032/IMG_0902.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYJkYWH6Q-2f7bxLvbPWL9TaoAw_Gc27s6X0ILfIiJ-4we0poh2IydCinjMB41BY5S818WM4j0MKjIe8Y3gWNPXjXOljwJFtEwU96hvyB-mTHs9M_nbelfJRP_2EAyXElc4q2rg1MO04tN8JGTngzRvuKL5uP_I9Of6Sdcq-HcjLntH7Hu50qC-3-rQC0/w300-h400/IMG_0902.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>For far too many years, I have tried to leverage my creativity as a means to an end. An end to the need for a "day job." In doing this, I lost my reason for being creative. I lost my desire to create for the sake of creating. As some of my newsletter followers know, I took a new job in January. The feeling that I had to force my creativity to provide income has dissipated. I've found a job that gives me the flexibility I've chased for so many years. <p></p><p>I've regained my why. In the last month, it became very when I created art to put hope in the hearts of those I love and smiles on the faces that needed a reason to smile. It's not about making money. It's about making art. It's about creating for the sake of creating. I've spent a bit of time waiting for permission, feeling like I had to have permission. Feeling like I needed to be told it was okay to let go of making cards. Feeling like I'd be letting all my faithful card followers down, but here's the thing I'm the one who's been in my own way. Not the cards, not the followers, not anyone but me. </p><p><span style="background-color: white;">I feel as though I've outgrown the card industry. I love the passionate makers, but I crave something more. I desire more from my own creativity. I want something that isn't just another sale pitch for the latest release of products. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">I've finally given myself the permission I've been waiting for. I've reopened my sketchbooks, subscribed to a couple of monthly curated art boxes, and started just making for the sake of making. </span></p>SLMPetersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238728005511643751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526175554820428199.post-48178438096223219032023-05-01T06:27:00.001-08:002023-05-01T06:27:24.215-08:00Online Shop Closing<p> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: black; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mceBlockContainer" style="padding: 12px 24px 6px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><div class="mceText" data-block-id="14" id="dataBlockId-14" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 612px;"><p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;">Hello Inky Admirer,</p><p class="last-child" style="direction: ltr; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;">New adventures are beginning. I’ve talked off and on about creating art in my little corner of the universe. I’m venturing into a new commitment of developing an art practice. I’ve had some false starts in this direction, but I feel like I’m finally ready to commit. If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed a bit of a shift in card style. </p></div></td></tr><tr><td class="mceBlockContainer" style="background-color: transparent; padding: 20px 24px; text-size-adjust: 100%;

If you're a newsletter subscriber, then you already have the inside scoop. My plan each month is to walk though my thoughts and decisions while sharing them with you. To get the news fist, become a <a href="https://blog.inked-inspirations.com/p/subscribe.html">subscriber</a>. Stick around, you might be surprised where this journey takes us. I have new ideas brewing.<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY_YxktcyFD0RYv072EOv3-H134DIM25GgjAJamoTP1oeEYwbnAeFBPKmb2pfFVC1J-Tma_rvQijyWHrT4QSLwqYaTnQLuhNDJUsL6cK4TDVWzCOuW4BKFuGve2_mYvGMje4E7YPTpLQrnOpRaqlAEoGg3iyG2siRi0MTofJtJmWFXFcZdLTUKD4In/s3024/IMG_2151.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY_YxktcyFD0RYv072EOv3-H134DIM25GgjAJamoTP1oeEYwbnAeFBPKmb2pfFVC1J-Tma_rvQijyWHrT4QSLwqYaTnQLuhNDJUsL6cK4TDVWzCOuW4BKFuGve2_mYvGMje4E7YPTpLQrnOpRaqlAEoGg3iyG2siRi0MTofJtJmWFXFcZdLTUKD4In/w400-h400/IMG_2151.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>The toughest change isn't a decision I made lightly. I mulled this around for months and have finally settled on it.<br /><br />In August of this year I will be closing the online shop. In an effort to be transparent about this decision, I'm going to wade into the weeds of it a bit. Don’t worry we won’t go to deep. It will just make more sense if I share some extra bits.<br /><br />The online shop has never taken off like I hoped it would or honestly should for that matter. I have the traffic, but not the sales. Translation, there are a lot of window shoppers. The reality is that I can no longer justify the cost of platform I currently use.<br /><br />Part two of this decision, if I'm brutally honest, creating listings for a shop that doesn't make money is soul sucking. It’s time to shutter the online shop and explore other ideas.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>This change will <u>ONLY AFFECT THE ONLINE SHOP</u>.</b></div><br />Local shoppers will still be able to get their handmade card fix at Smiling Moose. New card designs are added frequently and often.<br /><br />Those of you who aren't local shoppers, know that I value your business and will be exploring alternatives for you. If you are one of my annual holiday card orders I will still be here to fill those requests. When the holidays season begins, please reach out by email and we can discuss options.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9YwPAS4ZwEogU593irdRWWjLaBeuOlNy1UqgeU_BY4qKnooMlI7fpvJfOR7FOTk8MXFfdSo0mUrsgam_cKFtWEio5N7KrQZLtb7VFv9B2LGE1mWRNVEITXz41TMVSM5t33MxM-jlSRk6ANTjJAnQeWCMOmq_DPGCRcbSM5Znpx2YGZtru71cqABz/s4032/IMG_9575.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9YwPAS4ZwEogU593irdRWWjLaBeuOlNy1UqgeU_BY4qKnooMlI7fpvJfOR7FOTk8MXFfdSo0mUrsgam_cKFtWEio5N7KrQZLtb7VFv9B2LGE1mWRNVEITXz41TMVSM5t33MxM-jlSRk6ANTjJAnQeWCMOmq_DPGCRcbSM5Znpx2YGZtru71cqABz/w300-h400/IMG_9575.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>Goal setting isn't in my nature, and one of my closest friends would tell you my inner rebel is the cause. She might be right, but we won't tell her that. So what do we call this if it's not a goal? Let's call it an intention.<br /><br />This year, my intention is to remember why I started and return to the joy of making, sending, and giving more cards.<br /><br />Why did I start Inked Inspirations? The deeply rooted reason? I wanted someone to receive the happy mail that I'd wished for in my own mailbox. Then I started selling my cards to help pay for my hobby and then I grew that focus with the intention of building a business. In the process of trying to build a business I lost sight of my why. It’s time to return to the joy and the why.<br /><br />In returning to my why, I plan to focus on rebuilding my habit of sending happy mail, giving away packs of cards and donating cards to great causes. I make hundreds of cards a year, and when I sent my first donation to Cards for Kindness last month I was reminded of how much that fills my heart and feeds my soul. I want to inspire more of you to send more cards and fill more mailboxes with more happy mail.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVjtoxH_34GdFNlJOOgEc8dXyxoD8DBNz2Pzyfet2V4T7vgbDsiCE5rCQ381Xbp25kNbEGnk9pymGkrf8uKwyh8tlHXvXlWlsH_2SQXgp0qwNTSJq_TlxCi60EPv2nReXJF4eLHImRimamXmbC9N1YGjzcqS-rqFMvqsQzgPSE9Mz-bvZ0-4PjpROo/s600/Mission%20statement%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="188" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVjtoxH_34GdFNlJOOgEc8dXyxoD8DBNz2Pzyfet2V4T7vgbDsiCE5rCQ381Xbp25kNbEGnk9pymGkrf8uKwyh8tlHXvXlWlsH_2SQXgp0qwNTSJq_TlxCi60EPv2nReXJF4eLHImRimamXmbC9N1YGjzcqS-rqFMvqsQzgPSE9Mz-bvZ0-4PjpROo/s16000/Mission%20statement%202.jpg" /></a></div></div><div><br />This going to be an interesting journey and I hope you’re along for the ride.

It’s been a fantastic New Year so far. I started a new job, which I’m loving! I’ve begun setting some new goals for the card business and exploring the ideas I have for changes in the New Year. In January, I chose to start donating more of my handmade cards. I sent 96 cards to Cards for Kindness. Cards for Kindness is part of the Creative Kindness Foundation. Once a donation is made, cards are distributed to the many organization that use them to spread kindness. For more info you can check out their site - Cards for Kindness. In October of 2022, my mom passed away. I chose to pay tribute to her by creating artwork and making her memorial cards for family and close friends. This project gave me new direction for my creativity. I’ve delved into learning the Procreate app on my iPad and will be utilizing it for future card designs. At the end of December, I made the decision to discontinue custom designs. This was not a decision I took lightly, but I will no longer be accepting requests for custom designs. Custom cards are very time consuming, and honestly take some of the joy out of my creative process. I will still be taking card requests for occasions or matching multiples, but I will no longer be creating customized designs. Thank you for respecting this decision. The online shop has been reopened after inventory. You'll find a few new designs, as well as a few changes to the categories under Shop by Occasion. Last, but certainly not least. For my local shoppers, there are always new designs going into the rack at Smiling Moose. I’d also like to give you a big heartfelt thank for choosing to purchase my handmade cards." style="background-color: transparent;" target="_blank"><i><b>Subscribe to the Newsletter</b></i></a></div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="background-color: transparent; border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>SLMPetersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238728005511643751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526175554820428199.post-54939001353115828292022-11-17T05:00:00.001-09:002022-11-17T05:00:00.180-09:00Creating Multiples - All You Need is Love & More CoffeeDo you create in singles or multiples? I do both. Multiples can be anything from two to six or more. When I create multiples I often create them with patterned paper. This is determined by how much of a specific pattern I have, it dictates how many of a card design I can create. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipFGP19sGvkCVbRFLBsZGQsAmrYOhTX6eLlunrQTzjY42DnAnP5wZyVqN1Qb8AW5-AuFU3GFwRBsBMCaql0dWHHbfibOlNuhU3w3WjtiwGT5R0lijnZkB3JCyg65IB3Brd1N3WF1E0IqOQyJG_VD32XJeriiFmygvTf1nVu09WOH_sRlhvAr1Hya9E/s3024/2022-11-15%20More%20coffee%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipFGP19sGvkCVbRFLBsZGQsAmrYOhTX6eLlunrQTzjY42DnAnP5wZyVqN1Qb8AW5-AuFU3GFwRBsBMCaql0dWHHbfibOlNuhU3w3WjtiwGT5R0lijnZkB3JCyg65IB3Brd1N3WF1E0IqOQyJG_VD32XJeriiFmygvTf1nVu09WOH_sRlhvAr1Hya9E/w640-h640/2022-11-15%20More%20coffee%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>For today's cards, I had enough striped paper to create three cards. I let the paper dictate the color palette for the card designs. When I pulled these stripes from the basket I felt a coffee shop vibe, so coffee cards they became. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>These stripes are bold and can carry a card on their own, so I needed a bold sentiment and a little embellishment to keep them clean and simple. I pulled a sentiment and coffee cup from the Technique Tuesday Perk Up stamp set. I used my favorite set of stitched rectangle dies to cut both the pattern paper and sentiment block. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlX26VK9BjiQLaozveGLcuPmMzOxrb530BGPx51fzjL9guWyonGNEoL0bPrmy_C6kBk9m2XNRz_QugfHNYZbwSPAxWx4rkDnsBg6ObXmRcSV_utIm5qWmK1smbFMOnso0DyUymcUJNiaO3oFTLLBvXB2CfcPaj7jc68OIfw_8-O7aMzbKyBrk7PQKy/s3024/2022-11-15%20More%20coffee%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlX26VK9BjiQLaozveGLcuPmMzOxrb530BGPx51fzjL9guWyonGNEoL0bPrmy_C6kBk9m2XNRz_QugfHNYZbwSPAxWx4rkDnsBg6ObXmRcSV_utIm5qWmK1smbFMOnso0DyUymcUJNiaO3oFTLLBvXB2CfcPaj7jc68OIfw_8-O7aMzbKyBrk7PQKy/w640-h640/2022-11-15%20More%20coffee%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>I used my Copics to color my coffee cups to match the patterned paper. I don't usually buy matching dies. Not a fan of the white outline they create. I use my Scan and cut or I fussy cut the images. These cups are simple shapes so they were easy to fussy cut. </div><div><br /></div><div>With all my pieces created it's time to build the cards. I opted for a lower third layout to pull the eye down the pattern to the focal point of the card. The sentiment was offset slightly from the center to make room for the coffee cup and balance the design. None of the elements were popped up, but you could totally opt to do that with a card this simple. I embellished my cup with a tiny heart this is a knockout from one of my many heart pattern dies. I save small knockouts for later embellishments like this. </div><div><br /></div><div>That's it, three cards, clean and simple.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shopping Notes:</i></b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Technique Tuesday Perk Up - retired</li></ul></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div><div><br /></div>

For a while, I subscribed to the theory that if I cut a bunch of die cuts at once I would have them ready to use. The problem with this is that I began storing them and never using them. As a general rule whatever I already had cut was the wrong color for the card I wanted it on. As a result, I would cut a new one and never use the ones I had pre-cut in my stash. Now I’m in use it up and quit storing mode.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23-ogw3VLZw-4_z5Wp0PoL6xUx5YTu3-Bk7M2gQtNO4a71cAGuvVTzX3xsGYG1OEIZvtpZt8p2IYlRttbtMzDYukEQ6my7rGmyPaoL5YNaP3JdeyEBPJnT25otIeHqWHNURidU1R5LdOBUOVwu1xB_CvWnZzXAowPMBMWcd_ZY-QYbXGNOzC3i8do/s3024/2022-11-14%20Thanks%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23-ogw3VLZw-4_z5Wp0PoL6xUx5YTu3-Bk7M2gQtNO4a71cAGuvVTzX3xsGYG1OEIZvtpZt8p2IYlRttbtMzDYukEQ6my7rGmyPaoL5YNaP3JdeyEBPJnT25otIeHqWHNURidU1R5LdOBUOVwu1xB_CvWnZzXAowPMBMWcd_ZY-QYbXGNOzC3i8do/w640-h640/2022-11-14%20Thanks%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>For these cards, I began with Die Cutting Divia's CC Sketch #56 from January 2017 and collected a few strips of patterned paper from my scrap stash.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/76/f2/d7/76f2d7f076ef1ececcb7d77925d38357.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="232" height="400" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/76/f2/d7/76f2d7f076ef1ececcb7d77925d38357.jpg" width="290" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>For each card, I selected patterns that worked well together and then found a solid color to fit the color palette for my card panel.

Scraps in all sizes, shapes, colors, and especially patterns. I'm terrible about hanging onto even the smallest of patterned paper scraps. So today, we're talking about making tags for the holidays. I have six ideas for tags today, all from scraps in my stash. <div><br /></div><div>I started this project by pulling my file of Christmas and Winter paper scraps. To fill in a few of the gaps I added patterned paper that matched the color scheme for each set of tags. My goal was to use only scraps for these tags. I pulled some of my tag dies and began cutting my scraps, sorting them into color schemes as I went. I also cut enough white to back each tag.

I usually stitch when we travel to "town," which is about a two-hour drive. Living in a small town in rural Alaska, means we have to travel for some things like doctor appointments and a larger selection of groceries. <div><br /></div><div>With this card, I've also tied in another little thing I like to collect, paint chips. If the paint chip is a head-scratcher let me explain. I'm an artist first and foremost and I love the color. I will seek it out anywhere and all the paint chips in a hardware store are like candy to me. I wish I could remember where I learned you could use a white plastic eraser to remove the text on paint chips, but that was a game-changer for me! Now I could use them like any other paper in my card-making. <br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFM7J4MqPiCRkWgtOEuND2fhrhN8Zx7u4iuKRO008ApkFzu6Jx5yxdEOBWdsqoYANqsiU8CXSy6H1vZfouhz1QSQ-cns5lb0vgU9nvDj-s-c_2o-z2XIPXzQU9CIplPVMtSGr7Nb5BnWJMHfNO8YujyCuyxmoLDEVZ-SjfTdJzKXV5iWRkCnbc0y9/s3024/2022-11-02%20Frog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFM7J4MqPiCRkWgtOEuND2fhrhN8Zx7u4iuKRO008ApkFzu6Jx5yxdEOBWdsqoYANqsiU8CXSy6H1vZfouhz1QSQ-cns5lb0vgU9nvDj-s-c_2o-z2XIPXzQU9CIplPVMtSGr7Nb5BnWJMHfNO8YujyCuyxmoLDEVZ-SjfTdJzKXV5iWRkCnbc0y9/w640-h640/2022-11-02%20Frog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>I started this card with the happy frog face and selected a color palette of pink and green to build the card. I had a few paint chips already die-cut in my stash and this green one happened to match the frog. </div><div><br /></div><div>I used a cover plate die from Taylored Expressions to cut the pale pink cardstock and then trimmed it with the largest of the stitched rectangles. I mounted the pink panel onto a kraft card base, added the paint chip at a slight angle, and then layered on the frog with a bit of foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a label and added it will foam tape as well. To complete the card I added a few pink enamel dots. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.</div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div><div><br /></div></div>

Today, I wanted to share some ideas for using patterned paper to build fun scene cards. This super couch from Altenew required a fun scene, so I built two options. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSynINDAhQYwGm2MFSOFFXDsSyj0Rc2z4jcf7dIriSN_dQIcNVbefng3vPj1vq442u015puSNqLV6wcsU2_6X5efKHe1GID_06V0F3sGyUCcQej-bV6PnptikPoDDZ5qX0YYzI295cwBh-ALyrrY4d6D95YoYP-vZuZZXkaSYGsUiQG21GEXgOEg68/s3024/2022-09-20%20couch%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSynINDAhQYwGm2MFSOFFXDsSyj0Rc2z4jcf7dIriSN_dQIcNVbefng3vPj1vq442u015puSNqLV6wcsU2_6X5efKHe1GID_06V0F3sGyUCcQej-bV6PnptikPoDDZ5qX0YYzI295cwBh-ALyrrY4d6D95YoYP-vZuZZXkaSYGsUiQG21GEXgOEg68/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20couch%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>For the green couch, I pulled some vintage-looking patterned paper with small print from my stash for the wallpaper and had a 6x6 sheet of small bricks that I cut into enough strips to get four cards. <div><br /></div><div>I used Copics to color my couch in a shade of green to match the carpet, with some blue-violet accent pillows and lamp. Once colored I fussy cut the couch and lamp for the scene. </div><div><br /></div><div>Time to build the scene. I ink-blended Distress Oxide in Ice Spruce across the bottom of a white panel. I used a texture stamp with Stormy Sky and Pumice Stone Distress Ink to create a carpet effect. I cut the patterned paper I chose for the wallpaper in half for two cards and added it to the top of the card. Then I added the strip of bricks to my card. To create a more finished scene I added a 1/4-inch strip of paper for a baseboard. </div><div><br /></div><div>With my room complete, it was time to furnish it with my cute couch and lamp.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMTl1EfFXCHb_IhH1GGSvbOb_6VY70-XwUrtTa3E7A9o8zyuIbTREKYElL1HOZUpjTIK81fSJsK5GavLKQLadJKRtUV5nDq1_RvUysQ7Mj4zc1-3jYIDXdqQ4ZWAzoEXN7e4_Ls9baDFG9rAlxnQar68eik3k0p0Z5hjxv_Zaes5bcvnH6kyXXpF0F/s3024/2022-09-20%20couch%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMTl1EfFXCHb_IhH1GGSvbOb_6VY70-XwUrtTa3E7A9o8zyuIbTREKYElL1HOZUpjTIK81fSJsK5GavLKQLadJKRtUV5nDq1_RvUysQ7Mj4zc1-3jYIDXdqQ4ZWAzoEXN7e4_Ls9baDFG9rAlxnQar68eik3k0p0Z5hjxv_Zaes5bcvnH6kyXXpF0F/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20couch%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>For the warm grey couch cards, I found a small striped floral print to use as the wallpaper and a couple more strips of the little brick paper. For the floor of these, I built a wood floor using Distress Inks in Brushed Corduroy and Vintage Photo, stamping the texture in Walnut Stain. </div></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Building the scene was a rinse and repeat of the first one, with a color palette change and some wall art. I colored my couch with warm greys and accented it with some pale red-violet pillows to match the wallpaper. I skipped the lamp and used a Tim Holtz Vintage Lable to frame my sentiment for the wall.</div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div><b><i>Shopping Notes:</i></b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Kaisercraft Woodgrain stamp - retired</li><li>Kaisercraft Gritty stamp - retired</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div>

I mean seriously? How could you not love these little guys? Penguins in a little convertible! This is the stamp that sold me on needing this set. Yes.

Now, here I am making them!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>I started this card by stamping and masking my little love penguins in their convertible. After I masked my car, I used some post-it tape to mask off the bottom of my card so I could build the sunset and add the grass. </div><div><br /></div><div>The sunset sky was ink blended using Taylored Expressions cloud stencil with Distress Inks in Kitsch Flamingo, Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, and Scattered Straw. With my sky done I added grass using Taylored Expressions grass stencil with Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint. </div><div><br /></div><div>After completing the sky and grass I moved the strip of post-it tape to cover the grass so that I could build the road. To build the simple road I used two more strips of post-it tape to create a vantage point masking off the sidewalk. Then using Black Soot I blended my pavement. To create the sidewalks I moved my diagonal stips to cover the road and reveal the sidewalk area. From there I blended Pumice Stone over the area. Next, I added texture to my sidewalk with the Kaisercraft Gritty stamp and Hickory Smoke ink.</div><div><br /></div><div>I removed all of my masks and used my Copic markers to color the penguins and car. I've listed the colors below. With my love birds completed I added a bit of clear glaze pen over the bump, headlights, mirrors, and windshield. To complete my card I stamps "I flippin' love you" in my sky and adhered the panel to a white card base.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Shopping Notes:</b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Kaisercraft Gritty stamp - retired</li></ul></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div><div><br /></div>

I told you that I loved this technique! I also recently bought some additional stencils specifically for this technique that I'll be sharing soon. Why do I love this technique so much? Let's start with the fact that there are so many design possibilities. It lends a modern touch to cards when using soft colors. It can make a statement with the use of bolder colors. Layering colors and stamps never creates the same design twice. Today's card is a soft modern take on a wedding card.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8Et3wBhI7wA75fz075yfO2k_nIdKNzQTnrvnGNCwJOE58tXJy-_DfJeYpfKI3FSOP1SrPxNOen9vBwb6jeuqJgDhVbs2FhiFLB3LV0rOGz368KxaUlZo8md8UHOTh9-CPai2YLm-nPG5L03FA-bbeZylZUcMPMuUnjnmSoMF76tnZf-tgKZrc5yn/s3024/2022-09-29%20Tying%20the%20Knot.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8Et3wBhI7wA75fz075yfO2k_nIdKNzQTnrvnGNCwJOE58tXJy-_DfJeYpfKI3FSOP1SrPxNOen9vBwb6jeuqJgDhVbs2FhiFLB3LV0rOGz368KxaUlZo8md8UHOTh9-CPai2YLm-nPG5L03FA-bbeZylZUcMPMuUnjnmSoMF76tnZf-tgKZrc5yn/w640-h640/2022-09-29%20Tying%20the%20Knot.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>I started this card with my Distress Inks and stencils. I always build my abstracts by starting with the largest elements first, then filling in with smaller elements as I go. This panel began with my largest shape and Bundled Sage, then I added Saltwater Taffy, and finished by adding Salvaged Patina to balance the composition. </div><div><br /></div><div>I pulled a couple of Simon Says Stamp stamp sets from my stash and added my floral elements to build a spray in opposite corners. I wanted the floral elements to be slightly offset, yet balanced. The sentiment also came from Simon Says Stamp. I love a mixed-font greeting, especially when combined with a size variation like I used here. </div><div><br /></div><div>To complete this card I pulled out the trusty stitched rectangles to trim my panel. Once I had a trimmed panel I adhered it to a kraft card base. I added a little glam with a sprinkling of clear sequins. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shopping Notes:</i></b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Simon Says Stamp Thinking of You stamp set - retired</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div>

I turned those backgrounds into six cards. To see the first four cards check out yesterday's post - <a href="https://blog.inked-inspirations.com/2022/10/inspired-by-kelly-two-for-one-balloon.html" target="_blank">Inspired by Kelly - Two for One Balloon Cards</a>.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3igfsGNtzGerX1e8zmhVrPP-HsLSSOIzDM_r_KClI1WhrIFDT8K_9RFUE7P8WDKrBVViEIK3LbLYXAcBd9BQcFRDwoBaZ-rrX9YTAMm-4gJ5C4hi58GEwpTwunSiPEUhHT3ovi0ndW2ZHQo6H0AjOsIqaH060O2kIPIBrjpjPNE24BLYpoga6BI3/s3024/2022-10-03%20Happy%20Birthday%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3igfsGNtzGerX1e8zmhVrPP-HsLSSOIzDM_r_KClI1WhrIFDT8K_9RFUE7P8WDKrBVViEIK3LbLYXAcBd9BQcFRDwoBaZ-rrX9YTAMm-4gJ5C4hi58GEwpTwunSiPEUhHT3ovi0ndW2ZHQo6H0AjOsIqaH060O2kIPIBrjpjPNE24BLYpoga6BI3/w640-h640/2022-10-03%20Happy%20Birthday%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>For the first card, I used Distress Ink in Villanous Potion, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio to build my layered balloon background. I cut three of the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Birthday sentiment and glued them together to build some dimension. Keeping things simple I added the A2 panel onto a white card base and glued the sentiment in the lower half of the card.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVkh4YoiAPjEtHRR34Fih4fOy2WHVBL-WWEvtRtBhKBTy_mKcDx3jPIy33nOvlhusHl12CQRne15o9IpNUDbEG2jX6yIyD9YH_xaWDpAWeikvpmcrLn1MQ_4g-IlDjhx-afy26CtlkI4Hr-fGgkfkaKa51X9zO_5mfcHEeam75LDxpzlUjD9pcYiBI/s3024/2022-10-03%20Happy%20Birthday%206.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVkh4YoiAPjEtHRR34Fih4fOy2WHVBL-WWEvtRtBhKBTy_mKcDx3jPIy33nOvlhusHl12CQRne15o9IpNUDbEG2jX6yIyD9YH_xaWDpAWeikvpmcrLn1MQ_4g-IlDjhx-afy26CtlkI4Hr-fGgkfkaKa51X9zO_5mfcHEeam75LDxpzlUjD9pcYiBI/w640-h640/2022-10-03%20Happy%20Birthday%206.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>For card two, I used Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, and Salty Ocean. I pulled the Absolutely Fabulous dies from My Favorite Things and die-cut the top portion of the panel. Next, I adhered the balloon panel to a white panel and die-cut the two layers with the largest of my stitched rectangles. I stamped "have an" above "absolutely" before mounting the panel onto a black card base. Next, I used black cardstock and die cut fabulous. To complete the card I added a small banner with the word birthday heat embossed in white and a few matching gems.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shopping Notes:</i></b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>My Favorite Things Absolutely Fabulous die set - retired</li><li>Avery Elle Classic Flags die set - retired</li></ul><div><b>Shop the Supplies:</b></div></div><div><br /></div>

I've never sought out card sketches, nor have I actually used them to build my cards, other than my own of course. Then a few weeks ago my Bestie over at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bygraceeverett/" target="_blank">By Grace </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bygraceeverett/">Everett </a>and I were talking about patterned paper and getting more than one or two designs from some of our patterned paper. Which got my wheels turning. I was trying to think of where we could get more inspiration to use our patterned paper, then it hit me. We needed to watch a few of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/KristieMarcotte" target="_blank">Kristie Marcotte's videos</a>. <div><br /></div><div>Fast forward to a couple of days ago when I was sipping my morning coffee and seeking inspiration. I clicked on one of Kristie's older videos where she showed how to use <a href="https://youtu.be/R2R7rP-7yWI" target="_blank">one 6x6 paper pad to make 34 cards</a>. This is exactly what we needed to jump-start our patterned paper use. She took one double-sided paper pad and eight card sketches and in turn created 34 cards. WHAT? I totally need to try this magic! And try it I did.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP5E25INo8aIIM8QVvH-yUz__pkyccAb1X2hHsXV8FnbuLpO_9UJ2KanulZOiON2yN-5S0OXsNFAqqNXWc_vABlLKbNCtwMTrKfP7vW4WU7tWg6DR7QFbivNuAc2CZA78xVBL1cp7gn5_Je43EPJL39OTg57XFB2DQAUL8Y7BzYm3K8rhvThjJOMQn/s3024/2022-10-24%20Beautiful%20day.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP5E25INo8aIIM8QVvH-yUz__pkyccAb1X2hHsXV8FnbuLpO_9UJ2KanulZOiON2yN-5S0OXsNFAqqNXWc_vABlLKbNCtwMTrKfP7vW4WU7tWg6DR7QFbivNuAc2CZA78xVBL1cp7gn5_Je43EPJL39OTg57XFB2DQAUL8Y7BzYm3K8rhvThjJOMQn/w640-h640/2022-10-24%20Beautiful%20day.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I started my card sketch journey by building myself a sheet of card sketches, in the style of a photographer's proof sheet. I built a table with three columns and several rows. Into each cell, I dropped one of the sketches I'd found on Pinterest. I ended up with a 14-page document, that I'm sure will grow as I find new sketches in my Pinterest travels. I printed the document and started making cards.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjadBvhN5Fy1cr98B60xEE4J6e5VAXEHGQsL5ZeA0FMDOOjn1UPoMOOBJ_Pu7VxmD0KPUo1sGoBQdtxtTLFHZ2LWGB5wxGFMKtrAMADpXc3OyDQNMN_enUB1Sec-uQIb4X6LjipAg4EoDn7wOWjiupHf3jCQKZmZVzt939NPSoA62tFwOFCMEsXVqi0/s3024/2022-10-24%20Love%20You.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjadBvhN5Fy1cr98B60xEE4J6e5VAXEHGQsL5ZeA0FMDOOjn1UPoMOOBJ_Pu7VxmD0KPUo1sGoBQdtxtTLFHZ2LWGB5wxGFMKtrAMADpXc3OyDQNMN_enUB1Sec-uQIb4X6LjipAg4EoDn7wOWjiupHf3jCQKZmZVzt939NPSoA62tFwOFCMEsXVqi0/w640-h640/2022-10-24%20Love%20You.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I pulled out my stash of patterned paper scraps, all the bits and bobs I have pre-die cut for card making, along with ephemera and other embellishments I have collected.

I started with Dried Marigold and the largest shape then added the next largest shape with Saltwater Taffy, and finished with the small shape in Speckled Egg. As I built the composition I wanted to retain a large white space in the middle. <div><br /></div><div>Once I completed the ink blending, I trimmed the panel with the retired Sizzix Dotted Rectangles largest die. I added the dress and the stacked sentiment using VersaFine Black. By preserving a large white space I was able to stamp the dress so that it would be mostly white. To complete the card I adhered it to a white card base and added a bit of sparkle with a few sequins. <br /><div><br /></div><b><i>Shopping Notes:</i></b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Sizzix Dotted Rectangles dies - retired</li><li>Stampin' Up Wedding Dress stamp - retired</li></ul><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b><div><br /></div>

I used Teacher from Waffle Flower and Color My World from WPlus9 to build these. I kept the design simple with some Copic coloring, using a limited palette. Limiting your color palette can be a great way to challenge your creative skills.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6dtXtSXQqZ43HsNuCkDt5VhdxNHiHQBLq3sJYQHv9WWTFHnR-e0c7GH5UU7TICsXilg-h_018QKqg_scN3DZjc-XEgbXVKE_eCKX1TcDMF35y_o-RcZp4hwjpQlqI129D6Ig3FQ4LACDepJ94-mVsYNlKrw0aRu8TF8196PqNqSxnoss33p-nnZa/s3024/2022-09-20%20Paint%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6dtXtSXQqZ43HsNuCkDt5VhdxNHiHQBLq3sJYQHv9WWTFHnR-e0c7GH5UU7TICsXilg-h_018QKqg_scN3DZjc-XEgbXVKE_eCKX1TcDMF35y_o-RcZp4hwjpQlqI129D6Ig3FQ4LACDepJ94-mVsYNlKrw0aRu8TF8196PqNqSxnoss33p-nnZa/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20Paint%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Each card was stamped, colored, and then cut with the Simon Says Stamp Wonky Rectangles dies.

After I had my sentiment in place I added to brush, paint tube, and puddles of paint to the panel. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhREnrL9U3NOfUeMOd2ZQMQq8nnBj6I8wcVyac0ohH94NUuYUO5Ct2y9NxV65oZ4j7VyDBqcvL-oQN7-8U8DVWsbn3NrRzSfRcXq-LFX-zMGYgw5Do-VQ3R0smEOBXrtZt_Z7pkd7tsdtoumsVdjnjPFgyc2ddlWYM-kVA4bMUst3AgHCau_2HdflvW/s3024/2022-09-20%20Paint%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhREnrL9U3NOfUeMOd2ZQMQq8nnBj6I8wcVyac0ohH94NUuYUO5Ct2y9NxV65oZ4j7VyDBqcvL-oQN7-8U8DVWsbn3NrRzSfRcXq-LFX-zMGYgw5Do-VQ3R0smEOBXrtZt_Z7pkd7tsdtoumsVdjnjPFgyc2ddlWYM-kVA4bMUst3AgHCau_2HdflvW/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20Paint%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>With my layout complete, I opted to Copic color these images, with my limited color palette selection and I gotta say the results are so fun!

Yes, I said dozens. Since I only write five posts a week I have photos of dozens of cards that have yet to make it to the blog. Today's cards are from the teacher cards I made a few weeks ago.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRx0i5Y7f9x-5YoI7078dd7c_xGRhQ01Y9nVMPWuPzMfNsKfEhKwGsKiClROcQfGzU9faMmA1s2dyxo24JEC0osDWFsPqz0tNnCt1J3HZqgfgWTeqE1tKJrZpX30DeQUau5zUeUwFG3_E3c03jNg-rOX6Mu2zxqxqQf-crFVYFpmt1Zqb7DHQFs_mn/s3024/2022-09-20%20Pocket%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRx0i5Y7f9x-5YoI7078dd7c_xGRhQ01Y9nVMPWuPzMfNsKfEhKwGsKiClROcQfGzU9faMmA1s2dyxo24JEC0osDWFsPqz0tNnCt1J3HZqgfgWTeqE1tKJrZpX30DeQUau5zUeUwFG3_E3c03jNg-rOX6Mu2zxqxqQf-crFVYFpmt1Zqb7DHQFs_mn/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20Pocket%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>The layout for both cards is the same, with the exception of the card above having a few green heart embellishments. These cards pull together several brands. I used the Teacher from Waffle Flower, Kindness Matters from Neat and Tangled and one of the past Stamptember sets from Simon Says Stamps.</div><div><br /></div><div>To add variation I colored the puppies in different colors, but the green combo is the same on both cards. I had only intended for the difference to be the color of the puppy and the color of the card bases, that this until I dropped a green marker on one panel. How better to hide a mark than with a green heart, but one heart looked very out of balance. I gravitate toward odd numbers when using embellishments, so I opted for five hearts. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVfHNEZxtdGnoTh6oOSUcVYHgsuA_i1knaUlev6Ji1sKBi7Etwz-E89kLkaWJdd8f5jTMxqgLrCtPWAYDUgsWhzQNsu3P3UbGvacZrqDaNsop893WUMFkUgHg1Y5Ql3jUup4dMZBG0hAJtXaRNH-RpsE0QzJTH-i1sBFLDnS-_MqbzSM18s3ViIXzS/s3024/2022-09-20%20Pocket%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVfHNEZxtdGnoTh6oOSUcVYHgsuA_i1knaUlev6Ji1sKBi7Etwz-E89kLkaWJdd8f5jTMxqgLrCtPWAYDUgsWhzQNsu3P3UbGvacZrqDaNsop893WUMFkUgHg1Y5Ql3jUup4dMZBG0hAJtXaRNH-RpsE0QzJTH-i1sBFLDnS-_MqbzSM18s3ViIXzS/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20Pocket%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>These cards are the closest I ever get to one-layer cards. My creative style is to create panels and then adhere them to a card base. There are a few reasons why I do this. If I'm Copic coloring it will hide and bleed through on the back. It's easier to work with a single panel than a folded card. If I absolutely have to give up on a design and toss it I'm only tossing a quarter sheet of paper.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shopping Notes: </i></b></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Simon Says Stamp Pocketful of Happy Stamptember Release stamp set - retired</li><li>Neat & Tangled Kindness Matters stamp set - retired</li></ul><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div><div><br /></div></div>

I've had my eye on these stamps for a while and finally put them in my cart a month ago. I've been playing with them off and on since. Today's cards are the first two cards I made using these. The technique I used to create these simple cards was simply stamping on patterned paper and fussy cutting. I pulled my scraps out and stamped each chair onto a small pattern that seemed fitting for upholstery.</div><div><br /></div><div>For the first card, I stamped the chair onto a scrap of striped patterned paper and a small piece of blue that matched the stripes. Then I stamped the chair on the white panel I would be building my card on and colored only the legs. I fussy cut the chair, excluding the legs from the striped paper and only the pillow from the blue. Once I cut them out I used a Momento Tuxedo Black pen to outline the white edge of my pieces. </div><div><br /></div><div>I adhered the chair over top of the stamped image, lining it up over the legs, then added the pillow to the striped piece in the same way. I kept it simple when completing the card panel, with a simple sentiment and a bit of a shadow under my chair to ground my image, and trimmed the panel to size using the Simon Says Stamp Wonky Rectangles dies. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_zznohr4I0w4HBTpKsurtKHwirjZ2w4_YaxjayfQ8AWqZX8Du-B6fWuvDBCGpyyy20yCNn0m0qMfwGkYuQRAVblaHNduKvOPAO7Lygr0NFA4-h-IfiMDxd2iKKSdNny4QUi6CaWrl0atIkH1RffPFXXLjtoTr1Bg_UHoBl_wFyNc4KISvxh12NIw/s3024/2022-09-20%20Chair%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_zznohr4I0w4HBTpKsurtKHwirjZ2w4_YaxjayfQ8AWqZX8Du-B6fWuvDBCGpyyy20yCNn0m0qMfwGkYuQRAVblaHNduKvOPAO7Lygr0NFA4-h-IfiMDxd2iKKSdNny4QUi6CaWrl0atIkH1RffPFXXLjtoTr1Bg_UHoBl_wFyNc4KISvxh12NIw/w640-h640/2022-09-20%20Chair%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>For the second card, I did a bit of a rinse-and-repeat. I selected a small plum patterned paper for this chair and for the sentiment I used one of the Tim Holtz Vintage Label dies. By using the label die, I was able to create the illusion of wall art on this card. I added the same shadows under my chair and trimmed the panel with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is only the beginning. I also have a couch that will make an appearance soon. I love these stamps because of their uniqueness. I see lots of possibilities.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div><div><br /></div>

Then I proposed a no spend October and my bestie was all in. Before I continue onto what I learned so far, let me state that we've done this before, but this was the first time we had a zero tolerance for buying anything. Let's talk about what I learned about my crafting self.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVKl2ULidxhP_1qnwGXzzGYXZ-jyTR5xKmubxUKPuowFxaLN0CrnIGoTtRZEuwegOgjV5fZZFBPdlFu9oDew0biqqkDUjg764XdYDiv7X89Q-OxflcDmUCRX5mnd_vyHHIm3GxRx0OB77o_1Ot0w90YAk5mhubLe72w-Iv6j66JNa5uBaMikJ-fBC/s4032/IMG_9575.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVKl2ULidxhP_1qnwGXzzGYXZ-jyTR5xKmubxUKPuowFxaLN0CrnIGoTtRZEuwegOgjV5fZZFBPdlFu9oDew0biqqkDUjg764XdYDiv7X89Q-OxflcDmUCRX5mnd_vyHHIm3GxRx0OB77o_1Ot0w90YAk5mhubLe72w-Iv6j66JNa5uBaMikJ-fBC/w300-h400/IMG_9575.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div><b>Take Away #1</b> - You will use what you have if you stay out of the stores and stop filling shopping carts. Yes, that seems obvious, but I'm talking about the things you bought and tucked in a container and forgot about. Those enamel dots, wood embellishments, fancy florals, washi tapes, etc. I've been using up the impulse buys that are stashed in my studio and it feels good. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Take Away #2</b> - Inspiration will come from other places. I've recently gotten hooked on using card sketches. Yes, I'm probably late to the party, but nothing new there. I'll be talking more about this next week, but card sketches have stretched my design skills. Not to mention I'm using up all the die cuts I have in my stash.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Take Away #3</b> - The needs in your studio will become more evident. The point of No Spend October was not to stop spending altogether. It was more about slowing down the constant buying cycle we'd gotten drawn into with the constant flow of new releases. I've been making a list as I discover holes in my studio, most of my list is tools or consumables like embossing powder and inks, and a few storage things to better utilize using what I have.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Take Away #4</b> - Shopping your stash first is a game changer. New release of holiday goodies got ya itching to spend? How many snowmen do you really need in your stash? These are all things I'm asking myself. We probably already have something similar in in our stash, we don't need everything. Let's face it when something is popular, everyone gets on the train. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Take Away #5 </b>- You will find the stuff you no longer love using. This is big! As I shopped my stash I rediscovered old favorites, but I also found things I couldn't remember why I bought them. In using what I have I'm weeding out the things that I no longer love or that no longer fit my style. </div><div><br /></div><div>While I can't wait for November, so I can buy foam tape, I've learned a lot from this challenge. I mentioned that we've done no spend months before, but never with a zero spend. In the past, we've had exceptions like adhesive, envelopes, and ink. However, the zero spend forced me to use up some of my less favorite adhesives and focus on the inks already in my stash. Would you try a no spend month? Have you already tried this? What did you learn?</div>SLMPetersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238728005511643751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526175554820428199.post-7921953252372614902022-10-20T05:00:00.047-08:002022-10-20T05:00:00.191-08:00Shopping Your Stash - Playing with Fun Folds and WindowsSometimes I see techniques and think "Nah, that's cute but not really for me", but then I hit a creative wall and pick something to challenge my creative ideal. Fun folds and windows are two of those "Nah" techniques. <div><br /></div><div>Before I go into the details of this make, I really want to encourage you to shop your stash. Any dies and stamps will work for this technique combo. Large shapes are great for windows and any cute stamp can peek through. Color your image with your favorite medium. I think flowers would be a fun window card peek through as well.<br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5VFvnQ6KCR_6IzRH28_xQw7tcM8D9Hacxej5R_qwu9A8U9L2kBiGiez-JRZKAz_2NvvKDYidNLbrYdE98xmyNIFCbeR-CX570Ioen4Iv87B6TzBTs6oW7_syZ5XMZW2u157V_b5x7BBs82CL99aRIgbmaJt-Bl5ZaimMNXuLq6XxC3nW1Zt5VjhCq/s3037/2021-12-31%20Ice%20Birthday%20Pink%20Pinguin%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3037" data-original-width="3037" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5VFvnQ6KCR_6IzRH28_xQw7tcM8D9Hacxej5R_qwu9A8U9L2kBiGiez-JRZKAz_2NvvKDYidNLbrYdE98xmyNIFCbeR-CX570Ioen4Iv87B6TzBTs6oW7_syZ5XMZW2u157V_b5x7BBs82CL99aRIgbmaJt-Bl5ZaimMNXuLq6XxC3nW1Zt5VjhCq/w640-h640/2021-12-31%20Ice%20Birthday%20Pink%20Pinguin%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>This card started with the polka dot paper and inspired my color palette. Jumping off from there, I pulled a second scrap of patterned paper and Copic colors that would fit my palette idea. After I had a color palette I shopped my stamps and dies for further inspiration. </div><div><br /></div><div>While shopping my stash, these cute Darcie's penguins came into view. Bingo! This little penguin in pink would be so cute peeking out of a window. In the same set, there was a fun birthday sentiment. With the penguin and sentiment, selected I opted for a large heart die to play into that of the heart on the penguin's little vest.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Lvo6FJskcggrPS2_2VR1HFMOgh9kPt7QJ-dQI0DT3Dgm56uRDfBu34Qoh0PGjyJJcJvuewxfr6B3VMoREMFcJyh_ZICIk0Z3uWJCfoz7Oqe8Lz6LnziIiIJypD4hjVAkJHUfiFafiJXKkSAXCNfvVYjK7knQKJF-qPLeV-ylKifFNFoV2fSCORRs/s2996/2021-12-31%20Ice%20Birthday%20Pink%20Pinguin%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2996" data-original-width="2996" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Lvo6FJskcggrPS2_2VR1HFMOgh9kPt7QJ-dQI0DT3Dgm56uRDfBu34Qoh0PGjyJJcJvuewxfr6B3VMoREMFcJyh_ZICIk0Z3uWJCfoz7Oqe8Lz6LnziIiIJypD4hjVAkJHUfiFafiJXKkSAXCNfvVYjK7knQKJF-qPLeV-ylKifFNFoV2fSCORRs/w640-h640/2021-12-31%20Ice%20Birthday%20Pink%20Pinguin%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I started my design by cutting my polka dot paper with the largest of the Sizzix Dotted Rectangles and one of the larger hearts from Kaisercrafts Nesting Hearts. I mounted the polka dot panel onto the front of the card base that would become the card front. With my patterned paper in place, I put the heart die into the already cut heart and cut the window. </div><div><br /></div><div>To finish the card front I knew I wanted the sentiment on a small banner, so I pulled a scrap of striped patterned paper to cut the flag using the Lil' Inkers Stitched Flag. My final die cuts were from the second piece of patterned paper that matched the pink of the dots closely and a second heart from the same color cardstock of the "Z" fold piece. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjHAFI2Z40ny3cJel8guP8LOfXngK4LJOJow-os1zDYm1dDV70wJ_QoG9aTFuQ9J9A24tMLQntvE4TFNgtYbMSZInyUeCSxuDYl0NoHvbA3xi31DaArjLNXUYwrIH7jJ-17aYAjUdD7GNuncqPxN2pw70i9jMDjeb8z31nQmKyVKPKP9hrhHjG2sB/s3005/2021-12-31%20Ice%20Birthday%20Pink%20Pinguin%20(4).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3005" data-original-width="3005" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjHAFI2Z40ny3cJel8guP8LOfXngK4LJOJow-os1zDYm1dDV70wJ_QoG9aTFuQ9J9A24tMLQntvE4TFNgtYbMSZInyUeCSxuDYl0NoHvbA3xi31DaArjLNXUYwrIH7jJ-17aYAjUdD7GNuncqPxN2pw70i9jMDjeb8z31nQmKyVKPKP9hrhHjG2sB/w640-h640/2021-12-31%20Ice%20Birthday%20Pink%20Pinguin%20(4).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div></div><div>For the fun fold portion of the card, I trimmed a 1/4-inch off of the top and an 1/8-inch off of the side opening. Then the fun fold, which is a "Z" fold, was created by folding one side of the card in half. The folded card with the "Z" on the right side, is then adhered to the inside back of the first card base.

I won my punch board as a giveaway ages ago and I rarely make my own envelopes. I'd seen some cute ideas on Pinterest for using it to make file folder tabs on cards but had yet to try the idea. Then a couple months ago I had a request for office goodbye cards. Is there a more perfect card idea for office cards than a cute mini file folder? I think not!<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi6V18pYDbOhimBzBB40WukUgRlFcvnTrUzi19OB2lrNhm9n3JXFQvwJP8QbV8VXAjVZvqMgZlTVjz1kvejwsntAVBSTkC_l1OblN3rl9hc1LC_9JLVnZ33su56w7hdbEwTUz2bT4fxl0z-oxYzhnWs9xAxqHiG8HU2sN5EBKa5lkFGldw0_mXKzKe/s3020/2022-01-31%20From%20All%20Of%20Us%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3020" data-original-width="3020" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi6V18pYDbOhimBzBB40WukUgRlFcvnTrUzi19OB2lrNhm9n3JXFQvwJP8QbV8VXAjVZvqMgZlTVjz1kvejwsntAVBSTkC_l1OblN3rl9hc1LC_9JLVnZ33su56w7hdbEwTUz2bT4fxl0z-oxYzhnWs9xAxqHiG8HU2sN5EBKa5lkFGldw0_mXKzKe/w640-h640/2022-01-31%20From%20All%20Of%20Us%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I started with an A2 card base, punching a tab on one side, then trimming the opposite side of the card to build my file.

My go-to background technique is ink blending. Ink-blended backgrounds create a lot of versatility in my stash. If you've been with me a while you know I draw pen and ink trees, nearly every one of my trees is done on an ink-blended background. I also use these backgrounds for building cards and die-cutting. <div><br /></div><div>Today I'm sharing some of the color combos I've experimented with recently. All of these blends were created on sheets of 6 x 9 inch watercolor paper, created by cutting the Canson sheets in half. I blend on any number of paper, but when I know I'm going to use heavy water I opt for a watercolor paper or mixed media paper that can take the wet medium. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg0jZN_qXrv76RBFBjVg0VsKafUL_ywL1izFP8XMIjuSXY7nf731XYXIpoqT_fYC7_nqPOiS9hVjw2dw7sxWewL72WIo9gbWTHHDyXDohsFHqgtkKENtI1u5UlTPQiKS7FEBAIAASQgQT_HUwdbhBJ47yGMi14sxb60pUwXswh7mbSB8pXG0amo2-8/s4032/IMG_9058.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg0jZN_qXrv76RBFBjVg0VsKafUL_ywL1izFP8XMIjuSXY7nf731XYXIpoqT_fYC7_nqPOiS9hVjw2dw7sxWewL72WIo9gbWTHHDyXDohsFHqgtkKENtI1u5UlTPQiKS7FEBAIAASQgQT_HUwdbhBJ47yGMi14sxb60pUwXswh7mbSB8pXG0amo2-8/w480-h640/IMG_9058.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Color Combo #1:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Chipped Saphire</li><li>Pine Needles</li><li>Cracked Pistachio</li></ul><div>I ink-blended this trio and then splattered clean water over top. I like the dark rings around the water spots so I will splatter my water and let sit for a few seconds. After it sits, I hit it with the heat tool. After a minute or two with the heat tool, I will take a clean paper towel and lay it over top to absorb the excess and then lift it back up. After I've soaked up the extra water I finish drying it with my heat tool. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0QshjVJsoQBDqCfnpuoopebR6RfNz-1vSTwmOj_wXSZjVnqObO5glTxRq_96Z9RcrZle-swGMf-Ht02KZUBGD5vFewPUGfQPUSiSGWxJ2nLAB2ziicOboDjCZqp0uSbJ81vOX1n00wCJ8nbZP8Lqb0da2A7VrpDE10eSdGqLt8LtVh9DZ36wdWq3x/s4032/IMG_9053.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0QshjVJsoQBDqCfnpuoopebR6RfNz-1vSTwmOj_wXSZjVnqObO5glTxRq_96Z9RcrZle-swGMf-Ht02KZUBGD5vFewPUGfQPUSiSGWxJ2nLAB2ziicOboDjCZqp0uSbJ81vOX1n00wCJ8nbZP8Lqb0da2A7VrpDE10eSdGqLt8LtVh9DZ36wdWq3x/w480-h640/IMG_9053.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Color Combo #2:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Abandoned Coral</li><li>Saltwater Taffy</li><li>Salvage Patina</li><li>Peacock Feathers</li></ul><div>Again I came one with my clean water and worked my magic.

I love using my Distress Inks and Oxides to build backgrounds for cards.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>Shop the Supplies:</i></b></div><div><br /></div>
