Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using product from the Mini Catalogue or Online Exclusives. I have chosen to share a card made using the Artistic Leaves stamp set.

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside

Using Blending Brushes, I added patches of ink between the strips of Masking Paper. First Daffodil Delight, then Timid Tiger and finally Poppy Parade. The strips of Masking Paper were then removed.

The large outline leaf image was then stamped over the inked strip using Blackberry Bliss ink. I hindsight I wish I had used Black ink for a more defined look.

The sentiment was then stamped in Poppy Parade and the whole panel was then adhered to the Blackberry Bliss layer.

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing background techniques. I am sharing a piece of home décor created using ink blending and inspired by a card made by Michelle Zindorf.
To recreate the inked background mountain scene, you will need:
Basic White card – 6½” by 4½” Frame – 7” by 5”
Using a 2½” Circle Punch from my stash I punched a mask from a Post It Note. I placed the mask on the Basic White panel, slightly above the middle.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set used with tan ink blending technique to create a Mountain Scene piece of home decor – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop
I used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the entire panel with the mask in position. Next, I added Summer Splash ink to the top and bottom of the panel leaving a rim around the mask and a strip of plain Pool Party across the masked area from the middle to near the bottom of the mask.
Azure Afternoon ink was then added, again leaving some of the Pool Party and Summer Splash ink visible and finished with a covering of Night of Navy ink concentrating in all four corners, along the top and the bottom. The mask was then removed.

A piece of Post It note was then placed about ⅓ of the way up the moon from the bottom. A second Post It note was then torn into a jagged pattern before being applied to the top ⅓ of the moon. I used Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush to create mountains in the gap between the Post It notes. The jagged mask was then removed.
With the straight Post It note still in position I stamped a tree onto the inked panel with the bottom of the tree on the mask. I repeated this step to add the remaining trees before removing the Post It note.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set used with tan ink blending technique to create a Mountain Scene piece of home decor – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop
I placed a piece of cellophane over the stamped trees with a sliver of the bottom showing. I inked up the trees again, stamped off on scrap paper and stamped a tree below and at the same approximate height as the full-strength tree above to provide a reflection. The cellophane was then removed.
I lightly added a little Pool Party ink to the ‘moon’ to make it less blindingly white and stamped the dotty image from the Coneflower Celebration stamp set with Whisper White ink to add stars to the sky. A white gel pen added texture to the wate.
