Artistically Inked

Published on January 4, 2024December 28, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

For this month’s Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop, Nancy has set a wonderful ‘Picture Inspiration Challenge’ as the theme. Drawing inspiration from the colors in the provided picture, I created this card card using the stunning Artistic Dies and Artistically Inked Stamps by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This card is simple to create by using the Artistic Dies as the focal point and then colouring the different flowers & leaves in what ever colours you want.

When blending the colours from flower to flower or flower to leaf, don’t worry about when one starts or finishes. Just let the colours blend together.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ Sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamps.
