Two Ways To Color Using PowderPuff Chalking Inks

Hello and Welcome!

I love blending inks and PowderPuff Chalking Inks are the best I've found for this technique. Check out the smooth and effortless results!

Here is a quick "how to" for this card:

• Hand cut a hill mask from typing paper

• Blend Limeade and Green Leaf PowderPuff Chalking Inks

 

• Using the other half of the mask, cover the green area

• Blend sunshine with Sunset, Orange Slice and Buttercup PowderPuff Chalking Inks

 

• Stamp Verve Stamps coffee cup
• color with Copic markers
• attach

• Stamp Freckled Fawn sentiment and heat emboss

• Paint Quick Quotes' chipboard heart (from March's Club Q) with White Ice Pearl Pen
• attach

 

• Matte picture on Quick Quotes' Winter Bliss 100 and 102 
• edge with Rose Petal PowderPuff Chalking Ink

• Attach to card base

• Add sequins

I also wanted to share with you the card I made my husband for Father's Day. This Joy Clair knight stamp worked well for my "knight in shining armor," and the Quick Quotes' Mulberry collection is perfect for masculine cards.

I watercolored the stamp using Coal Miner, Feather Gray, Slate and Warm Gray PowderPuff Chalking Inks, which I smooched onto an acrylic block and applied with a waterbrush. (The shield was colored with Copic markers.)

To assemble the card:

• Cut knight image to 2.75" x  4.5"

• Emboss  3.5" x 5" Mulberry 105
• edge with Plum PowderPuff ink
• attach knight image

• Layer on 4" x 5.25" Mulberry 100, edged with Latte PowderPuff ink

• Wrap silver thread around the bottom

• Layer on 4.25" x 5.5" Mulberry 105, edged with Plum PowderPuff ink

• Add gems and attach to card base
