November 2022 Trailblazing Inks Release + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello everyone, and thank you for checking out these fantastic new ink pads! I am so honored to share a couple of projects with you today.

The blog hop begins at the Altenew Card Blog. You should have arrived from the blog of Jennifer McGuire.

I began this panel by ink blending the Frosted Foliage family onto an A2 panel of 80# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock with a large blending tool. I splattered Iridescent ink spray onto the front and set it aside to dry. I die cut both layers (Brushed Gold cardstock & Vellum with a double-sided adhesive) with the “You” from You Matter die set. I used Pure White embossing powder with embossing ink to stamp a partial sentiment from Sentiment Strips 2 onto the panel once it was dry. I trimmed the panel with my Tonic Deckle Edge trimmer to 4 x 5 1/4. Instant dimension tape adhered to the back of the Frosted Foliage panel. Using my color wheel, I picked the beautiful Fuchsia ink and blended it onto o an A2 panel of 80# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock with a large blending tool. I allowed this to dry before adhering to the Frosted Foliage panel. Finally, I peeled my double-sided adhesive from the back of the vellum and adhered the phrase into place.

On this project, I wanted to show you how beautifully these inks stamp and blend! I used the fantastic Shrub Rose stamp set with Blue Mountains and Frosted Foliage ink families after stamping with Obsidian Pigment Ink. My background ink blended the Woodland Escape family on an A2 panel of 80# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Once I blended the ink, I used Iridescent spray to splatter the panel. The leaves were adhered flat to the panel, while the sentiment and floral used instant dimension foam tape. The sentiment is from Sentiment Strips 2, heat embossed with Pure White embossing powder using embossing ink. Finally, it was cut with the Featured Sentiments die.
