My Grandson had a soccer game. My sister was in town for her husband's family reunion. I wasn't sure I'd get into my craft space this weekend. The soccer game was cancelled (too much rain + lots of kids running around = messing up the soccer field!). I was able to meet with my sister for coffee and a few hours of chatting (good news is I'll see her again next weekend). And I was able to create a couple of cards.
For this first card, I used Altenew's Lush Garden 3D embossing folder to create this soft ink blended card. Blending with Ranger oxide inks is like spreading butter (and even a novice like me can get good results)! The colors I used are Loss Shadow blended with Hickory Smoke, Saltwater Taffy blended with Spun Sugar, and Squeeze Lemonade blended with Fossilized Amber. I lightly blended Lost Shadow on the card base and then added Simon Says Stamp's Just a Note and stamped sentiment from Handcrafted With Love (emblossed with Altenew Pure White). I splattered the card with Stampin Ink Whisper White pigment ink mixed with water and a coppery metallic water-based paint.
On this card I used Altenew's wide washi tape Monochrome - isn't it beautiful. I then ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum 6 with the Altenew Rose Boquet 3D embossing folder. The sentiment is from Stampin Up Expressions and embossed on heat resistant vellum. I added a few silver pearls to finish the card.
