Focal Sentiments | Ink Blot Shop

Large sentiments work really well to take the focal point of a card, so everything else can be minimal. That’s what I did here. These large sentiments are definitely perfect for it.

Quick Scene Card | Trinity Stamps

This stamp set is perfect for setting up an easy scene card. The images are also pretty easy to fussy cut around — that usually plays a factor in whether I’ll mask for a scene or not. Add a bit of ink blending and you have minimal coloring needed.

No Masking | Honey Bee Stamps

I know I tend to do a lot of masking on my cards but sometimes, you have a set that works well with just straight stamping for a scene. I do love the style of these images and I used the florals as accents to the corners of the cards.

Stamping Pattern Paper | Trinity Stamps

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, small images make for the best pattern paper stamping! I used this lemon image to stamp my own pattern paper adding subtle dimension by adding a bit more color on the edges. Can you tell?

Repeat Stamping | Honey Bee Stamps

Big sentiments can create easy cards by creating a pattern through repeat stamping. A stamp positioner totally helps here and creates that pattern very quickly! I mirrored the colors in the pattern paper for my sentiments and then added a supporting sentiment to finish it off!

White Highlights | Honey Bee Stamps

A lot of people color leaving white space for a highlight, which always levels up an image. I struggle leaving white because it’s a bit hard to fade out with copic markers, however, ink blending to white is a whole lot easier and I did that here. It allows the color to stick to the edges but you go in with a light hand with a fade to white.

Navy & Gold | Honey Bee Stamps

What’s your favorite color combination? I usually love anything with black and it’s normally my go to, but I always forget to use navy. It’s pretty elite as a color choice because it goes with everything but it looks just a little softer. I need to remember to use it more!

Paper Piecing | Essentials by Ellen

When I first saw the North Pole Greetings Stamp set, I immediately thought of a postcard. I also thought about the fun patterns that you can color up the letters with. I’m terrible at that, so I rummaged around and pulled out a pack of holiday patterned paper and it was perfect — plus even better, I had scraps which I used for the main sentiment!
