Soft Ink Blended Florals | Altenew Crescent Flowers Card Idea - Sandi MacIver

Hi cardmaking friends – welcome back!

Today I’m sharing an Altenew soft ink-blended floral card featuring soft, ink-blended florals paired with a coordinating outline stamp set for a quick, clean and simple design. The Altenew Dynamic Duo Crescent Flowers Stamp and Stencil Set includes two beautiful stencil designs, a coordinating outline stamp set with a fun arch detail, and a wonderful selection of sentiments for a variety of occasions.

I kept the colors soft and airy, then finished the card with black splatter and a few gems for extra interest — and I even impressed myself by creating a flat card, LOL, something I never do!

How to create the Altenew Soft Ink Blended Floral Card:

Create the Card Base:

Trim a panel of Sagestone cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and attach it to the front of a top-folding A2-sized white card base.

Create the Art Panel:

Next, trim a panel of white cardstock to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and secure it to your sticky mat. Using Mini Ink Blending Brushes, blend the base layer of color onto each of the four sections of the stencil design.

Altenew Ink Used:

Obsidian Pigment Ink
Mountain Mist/Volcano Lake
Dusty Pink/Blush Rose
Golden Honeycomb/Amber Blaze
Citrus Burst/Fresh Lemon

PRO-TIP – Clean the stencil between each layer to avoid transferring ink where you don’t want it.

Go back over each section using a detailed blending brush and a darker shade of ink for each color, concentrating the color near the centers of the flowers to add depth and dimension.

Place the panel inside your Misty stamping tool and stamp the decorative arch around the lower right side of the floral design. Stamp the sentiments in the upper right corner using Obsidian Pigment Ink.

PRO-TIP – if you are going to finish the card right away, then heat set the Obsidian Black Ink, as it’s pigment ink, it takes a while to dry.

Assemble the Card:

Attach the completed white panel to the card front using foam squares to add dimension.

Place the card inside a splat box and add black ink splatter across the panel. Once dry, finish the card with Black Onyx Gems for a touch of sparkle and shine.
