mail it monday - one of a kind ink blended birthday card
Posted by Kerry Wills on
happy monday friends! i hope your week is off to a marvelous start!
i'm super jazzed to share one of the cards that i made + mailed last week with you. sunday was my niece's 18th birthday [how?!] and i wanted to make her a card that was fun and colorful without being super kid-ish.

i was so pumped when today's spin on the inspiration wheel landed on pattern play again! i've been wanting to re-make a card that's always been a popular seller and it works best with patterned paper.

using a few shades of aqua and blue inks from pinkfresh studios, i repeatedly stamped the sentiment "it's your birthday" in a horizontal row on the white card front. i then drew thin black lines on an angle around the perimeter to create a border.

the wheel landed on ink blending which it's done a few times already during this challenge. i decided to add in a monochromatic color scheme, birthday for the topic with stenciling and 3-d elements for detail. since i was sticking with only using one color, i decided to go light handed to heavy handed on the ink blending to get different values of the same color. [i created an additional wheel with the basic colors [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple to help me decide on a color family to use.] that wheel landed on purple!
