It's Sunday, so that means some Ink Blending Practice … I decided to have my blend take its inspiration from the current Rainbow Card Color Challenge … Autumnal Amber.
I chose four colors of Amber-toned Distress Oxide Ink … but unfortunately all ink pads were pretty dry (and I couldn't find the re-inkers – that will be my next studio treasure hunt), so I didn't love the end result.
One way to save a not-so-great-blend is a cover plate die … I used Birch Press Design Delfina Layer C, which I thought left plenty of the blend to show through … much better result in my opinion.
I reached into my vintage paper flower bag and layered some amber blooms with a big bold brad center.
I finished with a sentiment from Birch Press Design You are Awesome.
I'm also linking-up at the Ink Blending Challenge at TGIF Challenges.
And the Allsorts Challenge is also celebrating Autumnal Colors.
Wow!!! Gorgeous ink blending on that die cut. What a beautiful card. Thanks for joining TGIF Challenges this week!
A really lovely mix of colours for the background frame and also a lovely flower.
Thank you for joining our ‘Autumn Colours’ challenge at Allsorts.

Beautiful ! What a great idea to have saved your blended panel by using it with a die. Love how it looks. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along the Rainbow Card Challenge.
Hello Stephanie, I love how you used your background to die cut to something you were happy with. I would have thought more of covering it up… That’s why I love to see creations by crafters, everyone teaches me something. Anyway, love your card. It is creative and beautiful!!! Thank you for joining us at the Rainbow Card Challenge. Hope to see your creation there next month.
