Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop for the month of January 2022. This month we have a 2 part challenge based on the following picture. You can create a card inspired by the picture itself or inspired by the colors found in the picture. Here’s the picture.

I chose to use three colors found in the picture- specifically Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather.

Have you seen this Calming Camellia stamp set? The DistINKtive stamps are so awesome. They stamp with so much detail. This stamp set is free with a $300 order. Does that sound like too big an order? You can combine your order with a friend or host an online party to earn it!
I decided to take a full sheet of Basic White card stock and stamp my own patterned paper. Be sure you stamp off the edge of the paper and rotate your stamps so they stamp in different directions too. I have 3 more card fronts very similar to this that I can make into more cards. I added a sentiment from the Calming Camellia set and cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle die.

I stamped the largest Camellia flower in the inside as well, after I “stamped off” onto a piece of scrap paper so the ink was paler. Then I used the Thank You sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set.

Blending Brush Class
Do you have Blending Brushes? Would you like to learn 4 new ways to use them? I’ll be doing a Blending Brush class (Via Zoom) FREE for anyone ordering $35 or more between today (January 16) and January 31, 2022. You will need to have Blending Brushes, masks or stencils (Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks or Basic Patterns), and heat embossing supplies (Versamark, white embossing powder, and a heat tool.) I will be using the Art Gallery Stamp set for all of the stamped images and the inks/papers will be mainly Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue. I will send everyone in the class a card kit with the card stock and die cuts for the four cards. You will need to supply inks and adhesives to make the cards as demonstrated.
Here is a sneak peek of the cards we will be making:

The Blending Brush class will be held on February 11, 2022 at 6:30 PM ET via Zoom. A recording of the class will be made available to all who are registered to attend.
