Easy Ink Blending Valentine Card: My Favorite Things

January 15, 2024

Hey everyone. Keeping in the Valentine spirit, we are doing easy ink blending Valentine card using My Favorite Tings products. I haven’t used my distress oxides inks in a while so I thought today would be the day I did just that.

Using colors of pinks and purples inspired by my Color Cube, I got to working on a beautiful background. The Full Of Hearts Dieanamic from My Favorite Things was a great option for the ink blended piece. It provided me with a great over for a card and tons of little hearts I can use on additional cards.

The adorable new stamp set from My Favorite Things called Lovely Lions was the perfect addition to this beautiful background.

Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a chance to play with some new products I purchased from @ginakdesigns.

My first card is using the beautiful Contemporary Floral embossing folder and stencils. When I saw this debut, it was right in my cart. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder and stencil. The colors are from@concordand9th! The background is nectar and the inks are Popp, Buttercup, Watermelon and Parsley

My second card is featuring the Ruffled Blooms bundle. When I purchased this set, I knew I wanted to do this on black cardstock with rainbow flowers. I add a layer of sparkle on top to really make it pop!  The colors for this card are also from @concordand9th and are Poppy, Buttercup, Tidepool and Fig! These colors make a spectacular rainbow. 

Keep bringing us all the goodies Gina!!!

My card is featuring the new Rose Branch die cut and the new Under Water stencils. There are four stencils to create this beautiful background. Using a white gel pen I did some wonky (I mean seriously wonky 😂) faux stitching on the card as well.  I love the cool colors for green on this card.
