Hello there crafty friend!
So glad you've stopped by! Today I'm sharing a couple quick ink smooshed birthday cards I created with a just a bit of stamping for a simple CAS grunge look. I'm featuring the recently released Eiffel Grunge stamps from Unity Stamp Co.
I started off just making one card but I couldn't waste the ink so I ended up making two, but really two cards for my birthday card stash is great! My color choices were inspired by a fun color challenge to use Peach & Kraft is the combo and I love these colors together! So soft and romantic! They work well with this stamp set.
Card #1 - both of the cards are very similar. I used Dried Marigold, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks for the ink smooshed backgrounds.
I stamped the Eiffel Towers with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. And then I used a combination of the Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxides for my background stamping.
You may recognize the sentiment... it's one that I've been using lately on almost all of my birthday cards. It's from the So Kind, So Caring, So You {Front & Center Stamps} also from Unity. I stamped it with the Dried Marigold Distress Oxide ink. Trimmed it up and adhered it directly on the card.
To finish off the cards I used a bit of white prismacolor pencil on the flower petals. This lightened them up a bit so they weren't lost in the background. Both panels were trimmed down to 3-3/4 x 5" and adhered to a white A2 top fold card base.

I'm also playing along with the Color Hues Challenge #61: Peach & Kraft
So excited to add two more birthday cards to my stash!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
See ya next time.
Inky hugs,
Crystal
