Today I am featuring the Queen Anne’s Lace Stamp Set for several reasons. It has beautiful, dainty, flowers that work well with two card techniques; ink blending and heat embossing. Plus, it’s one of the FREE stamp sets included in your Starter Kit, when you join my Dream Makers team in September. Only a few days left in the month, so be sure to read the details below.

Ink Blending

I began with a Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, layered with Misty Moonlight Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″. Prior to gluing the Misty Moonlight layer to the card base, I embossed it with the Subtle Textured Embossing Folder.

Now for the fun techniques! Using two Sponge Daubers, I applied two blue ink colors to Whisper White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. I used the lighter, Seaside Spray, first, and the darker Misty Moonlight, second. To prevent definite “Sponge Dauber dots,” I touched lightly, then used a circular motion. 

When I was satisfied with my blue background, I used an Ornate Layers Die for cutting.

Next, I stamped the flowers in Gray Granite Ink. The stamp set has “two step” stamping, meaning you stamp a second stamp on top of the first stamp to add color. I stamped it in VersaMark, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Aren’t the blossoms pretty?

For a pop of color, I stamped “thanks” in Bumblebee Ink.

I was inspired by two challenges. TGIF for “ink blending.”

And, Fab Friday for the colors.
