After making a wedding card for a friend, I had strips of pearlized paper left over and I wondered what it would look like if I did some ink blending over it. What I quickly realized is that it not only easy to ink blend over this slick type and the color is quick to show up!!!! I only used three colors to make this rainbow of 6 colors.
The Distress Oxide inks I used were Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Mermaid Lagoon. But with a little blending, I was able to pull out a mid town of a peachy orange, green and violet colors. And it took little effort! After letting the paper dry, I took the time to cut out multiple hibiscus flowers from the Hibiscus Die Set that you can find HERE. This set includes the flower, stamen and the leaves as well.
This picture captures both the rainbow of colors and that it is cut out of pearlized paper. All flower images here propped up on double sided foam tape on this 4″ square card base and glued down the stamen and leaves with my Nuvo deluxe adhesive (which I am really loving.)
The “Yay” sentiment comes from the Newton’s Nook stamp set of “Birthday Essentials” that can be bought HERE. I finished the card off with a few gold and clear iridescent gems.
This card was made with the following challenges in mind. (Please click on pictures below to be taken directly to all challenges.)
