Make It Monday #108: Inked Backgrounds

Heather Nichols demonstrates a great stamping technique to make your own personal inked backgrounds.

 In this first card I used Versa mark and heat embossed the PTI text stamp the length of the card. I then used Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Royal Velvet Simply Chartreuse and Harvest Gold ink to make my own inked background.Simply Chartreuse ribbon and die cuts from My Mother My Friend set finish the card. The Birthday tag is a cardboard tag from the Cricut Artist bundle pack stamped in Raspberry Fizz and Simply Chartreuse again. The Flowers are cut from Raspberry Fizz felt with pink rhinestone accents.


 For the second card  I again used Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Royal Velvet Simply Chartreuse and Harvest Gold ink to make my own inked background. It was then stamped with the Newsprint background in Raspberry Fizz ink. A Raspberry Fizz die cut bunny, leaves from My Mother My Friend and another Cricut cardboard stamped die cut finish the card.

This inking technique is a super fun way to create wonderful personalized paper using your own inks.
