Masked Ink Blending Rainbow Card

Scrapbook(dot)com has recently launched a new global initiative called Cards for Kindness. The idea is to give handmade cards to people who need an extra boost, kindness, or just a simple smile.

Scrapbook(dot)com sent me some really cool products to create a card to inspire you to contribute to Cards for Kindness. I choose to create a card that utilized a couple of different ink  blending techniques, with a stencil and a mask.  I think the final card came out really cute.  What do you think?

Are you interested in making and sending cards for the Cards for Kindness initiative?

We require a minimum of 10 cards per submission in order to streamline the processing and distribution – but you can include cards from any of the approved themes listed below.

If you are unable to send 10 cards, please try to coordinate with friends or family or other crafters in your area and have them help so you can pool your efforts. Consider holding a cardmaking party or get-together! 

Card donations also need to be accompanied by a submission form.

My Card Details

For my card I used a masking stenciled ink blended technique. 

I use purple tap to mask off a section toward the top of the card and then laid the stencil “Giant Drops” over the Neenah white card front.  

Then I ink blended a diagonal rainbow with the colors: 

  • Festive Berries
  • Abandoned Coral
  • Spiced Marmalade
  • Squeezed Lemon
  • Twisted Citron
  • Salty Ocean
  • Wilted Voilet

 

SBC created this super cute sentiment for this initiative.  SBC website stampset has some really cute sentiments that I used for my card.

Once the card front was created, I used the Misti to stamp the sentiment “Hello” on the card front and then the “Sun Shine” on a piece of scrap paper. 

Then I used my Silhouette Cameo and pix scan mat to cut the “Sun Shine” sentiment and its halo out.

Then as the final touch, I glued the “Seas the Day” confetti from Honey Bee Stamps for some embellishment.
