Thanks so Much with A Touch of Ink

 A Touch of Ink is a Sale-a-bration stamp set that is free with a $120 order. 

The lovely images of a humming bird, a butterfly and some flowers have both an outline stamp and a filler stamp.  These stamps can be stamped using 2 step stamping, or stamped only with the outline stamp and coloured.

For my card, I stamped the outline images and coloured using Stampin' Blends using colours picked up from another Sale-a-bration item, the Paper Blooms DSP


The thick Whisper White card stock base was layered with a half triangle of Paper Blooms DSP (SAB). Some Gilded Flakes was applied to the doubled sided tape which had been applied to the edge of the DSP.



For the main art piece, the Ornate Layer Die was used to die cut the rectangle upon which the card elements would be added.

On a piece of Whisper White card stock, the images of the Humming bird and the flowers were stamped using Black Memento ink. 



The flowers were coloured with Rococco Rose Stampin blends with Old Olive for the leaves. A Blender Brush was used to add some Balmy Blue ink around the flowers and the dot stamp was used to add some texture around the stems.


A fine tipped glue pen provided a tacky surface for some Gold Gilded flake embellishments in the center of the flower.

The image was then die cut with the Layering Oval die and matted with a scallop oval of Roccoco Rose. It was adhered to the top half of the ornate die cut, and a sentiment stamped below it.



The Humming bird was coloured with similar colours (Balmy blue, Roccoco Rose and Old Olive.  Some Gilded Flakes added some gold glitter to this bird.  

The bird was fussy cut and using dimensionals, it was adhered to the ornate die.  It was positioned so that the beak was in the flower center and the wings extended over the art piece edge.
