Love – Distress Ink Splatter

Written by Kelli Cortes. Posted in Eye Candy (Projects)

Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today with a fun ‘love’ card to share with you.  This particular card I’m going to give to my husband for Valentine’s Day!  The main focus of this card is the background so I wanted to keep the sentiment pretty simple.  For the ‘love’ I stamped the l, v, and e from the Lawn Fawn – Quinn’s ABCs stamp set with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It – Blending Paper and colored them with Copics:
l – BV04, BV02, BV01
v – V17, V15, V12
e – RV29, RV25, RV23

I cut them out with the coordinating Quinn’s ABCs die set and adhered them to a black piece of card stock.  The heart for the o and the black hearts were cut out with the Lawn Fawn – Hearts die set.

Behind the black piece I adhered some pink patterned paper from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color (Color) 6×6 paper pad.  Then I tied a bow with some Purple Crush baker’s twine.

To make the background I took 5 different mini distress ink pads in random purples and pinks and stamped them directly onto a nonstick craft sheet.  I sprayed them with some water from a Ranger – Mini Mister and then set a piece of Tim Holtz – Watercolor Paper directly into the ink puddles.  I dried it off with a heat tool and then dabbed it back into the ink puddles to achieve the darker spots.
The Distress Ink colors I used were:
Picked Raspberry from Kit #1
Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac from Kit #4
Dusty Concord from Kit #8
Milled Lavender from Kit #11

I cut that piece out using a die from the Lawn Fawn – Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.

Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to all of the letters and the hearts and then covered the hearts with Glossy Accents.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!  🙂
