Using Ink Blending and Paste Together + Simon’s Good Luck Charm Blog Hop
I love being able to mix paste and inks together to create unique effects. This couldn’t be made even more easier than by using layering stencil, like the Interlocking Circles set from Simon Says Stamp’s Good Luck Charm release.
I’m using new inks from Simon Says Stamp, plus additional new products such as the Linking Lucky dies, Well Wishes set and Simon’s popular Rainbow Glitz Glitter Gels. While I used a very pink, purple, and orange heavy color scheme, bear in mind that you can swap these colors for any mix you prefer!
I also accented my card with embellishments from the Four Leaf Clover sequin mix, and the domed shape of my card design was derived from the new Nested Domed Arches die set.
