Make It Monday #8: Ink Blending Techniques

Well I certainly know that I need a bit more work on the blending part.  And maybe having the right tools would help.  But this card turned out better than I thought it would have.  I only had foam eyeshadow applicators to do the blending.  Maybe I'll try again with cotton balls?  I'm open to suggestions!

I used some stamping mask paper that I cut with the Mat Stack 1 die.  Then I used the stamp from the Mat Stack 1 collection and the sentiment from Think Big #2.  Directly around the image is Enchanted Evening ink, Ocean Tides ink, and finally Spring Rain.  The pigment ink was definitely easier to work with versus the dye ink.

So this is my very first card post on my blog. It's very fitting that it is a thank you card for Nichole and the rest of the gang at PTI. I have been so inspired since discovering PTI in February and am so happy that I have a hobby and something fun to do when I have "me" time! Thank you for all that you do. I hope that all these wonderful forum friends we have will make it easier to forget about the negative things that you hear. We love you! Keep up the good work!!!
