{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Enjoys Ink Swiping


Hi, Cornelia here today, swiping ink pads. I love those flowers - this one is from the new stamp club set for August, Floral Bliss. But I am not so good at coloring, so I have to come up with other options.



This was my inspiration for this card. I found it in my email and thought it's quite a cool advertisement and needs to be transformed into a card.


And this is how I did it:

I stamped and masked the flower with Tuxedo Memento ink.



I pulled out my long neglected ColorBox ink pad dating back to the beginnings of my stamping, when I thought I only needed black ink and maybe some colors and those teeny tiny ink pads would do.



I took out the yellow first and swiped it across towards the right of the upper flower and continued with orange and purple.



I added some color to the cone centers.



I stamped the sentiment and added a snippet of PP to the main sentiment and then - you guessed it - can't do without splatters.... Used my beloved tattered angels oil slick glimmer glaze. Makes beautiful glossy black splatters.



Hope you liked this - see you next month!

    Fun technique. I have an old Colorbox petal pad set that would work, too.
