For the last weekly Inkling I reshot the Tapestry Tutorial and posted it as the “From the Archive” tutorial. For my new sample I used Verve Stamps Great Friend stamp set. Instead of pigment inks I used Distress ink to sponge the background with. I love that they stay wet long enough not only to create a beautiful blended background, but also to emboss the entire background.
The colors I picked for sponging my background were Wild Honey, Fired Brick and Peeled Paint. The flowers from Great friend were stamped in Snowcap Adirondack Pigment ink.
The background was adhered to a card base cut and embossed out of Neenah Solar White cardstock with the largest of the Lattice Rectangle dies. My sentiment panel was cut and embossed with one of the Fancy Tag Two dies and sponged with Wild Honey Distress ink. The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The layer was adhered to the matching Nestaboard.
A black Rhinestone swirl was adhered to the upper left hand corner before my layered sentiment panel was adhered to the card base.
Here is a video for the visual learner:
