How to achieve the Inked Block Technique; you only need 3 things!

March 31, 2022

I shared the Inked Block technique on Tuesday's Facebook Live video. It's fun, easy and you need just 3 things!

I chose to feature the Garden Wishes stamp set & a variety of colors. This first one is Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Pacific Point.

You need a clear block, Stampin' Write markers and a spritzer filled with water. Below are the measurements for the cards.

Save

Watch the video here to see how it's done. It's the first of 3 projects I share.

Tips for success:

Use Stampin' Write 'water based' markers on your block; do not use Blends which are permanent markers.
Start with the lightest color first so you don't get a dark color on your marker tip
After filling up the block with ink (I colored on the diagonal) spritz it with water until dots form.
The more water you add the better the inks blend. But don't do too much or the colors blend too much.
Press the block directly on your White card stock and hold for a few second.
Have a tissue or paper towel ready to dab up excess water off the paper.

The Stampin' Write markers I used on this next card are Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point.

The card below has a softer feel. The colors are Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie & Polished Pink.

I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever. This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough! If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?!

Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in.

These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:
