You’re the World

Hello and welcome back to my blog. I am super thrilled to share my first post as a part of the 2021 Design team for A Blog Named Hero. The theme for this month’s challenge is Anything Goes, and I decided to use my favourite technique, ink blending, to make my card.

I started by stamping the turtle from the Carry The World Stamp Set on a Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock using Intens-ified Black ink. Next, I fussy cut the image and used my Copic Markers to colour it.

Below are the colours I used:
Continents – G29, G17, YG13, YG01, YR23, YR27, E57, E59
Water – B39, B28, B26, B24, B23, B21, Sakura White Gelly Roll pen
Turtle’s body – E49, E79, E57, E35, E33, E31, E30, E50

To create the background, I inked an A2 watercolour cardstock using Sea Glass, Early Dawn, Blue Water and Blue Hawaii Reactive inks along with a sponge dauber. I inked the edges using Black Soot Distress Ink to add more depth to the card panel.

After that, I splattered water on the background and dabbed off the excess using a paper towel. I also splattered White Iridescent Shimmer on the background panel. Next, I used a mini brush, dipped it in water and drew the rays of light. I dabbed off the excess water using a paper towel. I love how the inks react with water and how beautifully they lift off. Then I stuck the turtle on the card panel using precision glue and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Intens-ified Black ink. Lastly, I stuck this card panel on an A2 card base.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you were inspired and I hope you join the challenge for a chance to win a Hero Arts gift card!. Have a beautiful day.
