Artistic Ink Card #3 with Video

 This is the 3rd card of a 3 card series, along with a video tutorial) using the lovely Artistic Ink bundle and the Impressions in ink DSP. The 3 cards progress from simple to complex.  For each card the inside of the card is finished - each differently - and an envelope decorated - each differently.

The tutorial, including the video for the first card can be seen  here . It is a relatively simple card in that the design involves a single layer of  DSP along with a sentiment.

The tutorial for the second card, including the video, can be seen here.  The design of this card was stepped up a bit as it included the use of layering and a die as well as some embellishments.

Below is a picture of the 3rd card:

The card base is Pale Papaya layered with Basic white followed by some Impressions of Ink DSP.  After adhering the DSP to the Basic White layer, I adhered a 1/4 by 4 1/4" strip of Pale Papaya near the bottom. To this strip was added a piece of 1/4" metallic Flirty Flamingo ribbon.

On a separate piece of Basic White card stock I stamped the following:  2 small rose -like flowers in Polished Pink; 2 smaller rose bud like flowers in Polished Pink, 2 leaf pairs in Soft Succulent;  the 3 flowers in Pale Papaya and again in Fresh Freesia.  All of these were die cut using the Artistic dies.

Below is a video tutorial outlining how this card was made.  You can watch it on this post or on You Tube 

Before adding the die cuts, the sentiment was stamped with Polished Pink on an oval punched with the Duo Oval punch.  This stamped oval was adhered to the Pale Papaya scalloped oval and then added to the card front across the ribbon using dimensionals.

These die cuts were arranged on the card front as depicted in the picture. To tie all the elements together, the 'dot' stamp was used to add Soft Succulent ink to the DSP around the die cuts.

Before adding the gold Expressions in Ink ephemera element, I used the sharp end of the Take Your Pick tool to etch veins in the leaves.

Finally, some embellishments from the Ephemera pack were added randomly to the card front, and a ribbon bow was added to the side of the sentiment .

I used the large stamp and Pale Papaya ink to create an image along one of the long sides of the Basic White card stock

To decorate the envelope I first added a strip of DSP to the flap and then I stamped floral images and leaves directly on to the flap.
