Today’s card project is a fun HB2U slimline card that features a mix of ink blending, die cutting, and a lot of shine! If you would like to check out a video tutorial on this project, I would like to invite you to click here:
To start off today’s project, I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock that is slightly larger than a slimline card. I also pulled out some distress oxide inks in the colors cracked pistachio, broken china, wilted violet and picked raspberry. I added the colors to my cardstock in rainbow order using some domed foam blenders. I like to do ink blending on my MakeArt stay-tion. For more information on applying the inks, I invite you to check out my video.
Once I was happy with the blending, I misted the cardstock using a mini mister that was filled with water and perfect pearls. I then dried the cardstock with my heat tool.
Next up, I moved onto some die cutting. The large HB2U sentiment is from Picket Fence and I absolutely love it. It is fun to have a large, bold sentiment to be the focus of a card. I die cut this sentiment 3 times from white cardstock and layered them up to create some dimension. At this point, I though it would also be fun to mist the sentiment with the perfect pearls water mixture to add some shimmer to the sentiment using a mini mister sprayer.
For the background, I used a slimline stars die from scrapbook.com. I die cut both my inked background and a piece of plain white cardstock to layer behind it for some extra dimension. At this point, all that was left to do is adhere my sentiment to my card panel using some liquid glue.
