Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique


I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends.  I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set. 

I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS.  Each one turned out totally different! 

I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues.  After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.  

My measurements for this card are as follows:

  • So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

I hope you try this technique; it's so fun!  I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago.  Here's a link to it.

  • Delightful Wishes fun fold card swap


    Look at this beautiful card Paula made for last month's card swap. The theme was to use circles. 

    She used the Floral Delight suite (seen here) which includes the following products:

    • Delightful Wishes bundle seen here
    • Floral Delight DSP
    • Bees Trinkets *unavailable right now 
    • Floral & Gingham Vellum

    It's a super neat fun fold with two opening flaps. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Cut off the upper left flap diagonally. 
    • second flap 8 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 4 1/4"
    • two pieces of DSP 5 1/4" X 4", one cut in half diagonally. 
    • Crushed Curry CS 4" X 3"
    • inside White 4" X 3"

    Some of my favorite things about this card are the circle greetings, the die-cut vellum flowers, the little bees and the bright & springy colors.  Thanks for creating this incredible card Paula!
