Spellbinders – Jane Davenport Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Categories – , , ,

Hello! Welcome to the Spellbinders Jane Davenport Blog Hop!

You came here from: Virginia Lu (full list is down below!)

I had so much fun playing with some Inkredible inks for this fabulous hop. It was my first time and I absolutely love how vibrant these can be or muted depending on how to play with them. Be sure to scroll all the way through for the GIVEAWAY details below!

I started off with a sheet of watercolor card stock cut down to 4.25 x 5.5 and I used the textured side. For the first card, I used the color Inkredible Ink Hydrangea, which is this bright beautiful blue color. I misted the cardstock with clean water, making sure to leave some areas that were dry. I then tapped the ink into the watered areas, straight out of the bottle. Once I achieved the amount I wanted, I let the background air dry (which is hard to do when you are limited on craft time!). I decided to jump right into using the other color Inkredible Ink Blueberry, but something I did by accident (but is my usual MO) is I flipped the water color cardstock over and used the smoothed side. I didn’t realize it until I was done with the card. However, I proceeded with the same technique, mist with water and then tapped the color onto it. But something I was mystified by was that the color was much brighter a first, but then faded to a muted purple. Well, it was because of how I had the cardstock turned!

Once the panels dried, I then added some color to my glass media mat and grabbed a smaller fluffy brush and proceeded to splatter ink right on. I loved how the concentrated color was darker and showed up so, like I had used a different product.

I then pulled out a stamp set from a previous Card of the Month club for the sentiment, and a previous Small die of the month for the leafy medallion. I added vellum to the medallion to help it pop against the splatter backgrounds. I then trimmed the panels down .25 inch and added them all together! I finished them off with some Shimmer Mist and some baubles.

    I love the idea of coloring the wet watercolor paper with the ink. I have to try this one.

    I absolutely think both of your cards are Wonderful! Love, love those blues. Oh my! You can certainly see the difference in the depth of colour just by having done one of the smooth side & the other on the textured side. Thanks!
