Hello Crafty friends, here are some really fun and colorful cards using easy DIY masking techniques, stamping, heat embossing, stenciling and ink blending.
I began with some simple stamping and heat embossing. I used the SSS Sunshine Flowers Stamp Set for the beautiful Sunflower image and the SSS Sunflower Garden Stamp Set for my sentiment. I used Versamark Ink and Ranger black embossing powder.
Once my panel was ready, I used a couple of Sticky notes sheets to create my mask.
I used the SSS Positively Saturated Inks to create a gradient of colors. I always use the SSS Positively Everything Tool. This silicon mat is perfect to hold your ink pads in place while stamping or ink blending with being worried about your ink pad sliding around.
Then I sprayed the ink blended strip using a mist of water. I then carefully removed the mask and now our panel is ready for some stenciling. I used the Flowing Drops Stencil from Altenew. I used the same set of SSS Pawsitively Ink trios.
Here's a closeup pictures of each card.
Here I used the SSS Pawsitively Ink Trio 9 . The 3 shades included in this trio are Melon, Centalope and Sherbet.
Next we have the SSS Pawsitively Ink Trio 7. The 3 shades included in this trio are Marine, Cadette and Royal.
For the 3rd card I used the SSS Pawsitively Ink Trio 6. The 3 shades included in this trio are Bubblegum, Sweets and Taffy.
For our final card, I used the SSS Pawsitively Ink Trio 10. The 3 shades included in this trio are Latte, Cappuccino and Mocha.
