EASY Background for Clean and Simple Cards | Ink Blending Over Dry Embossing

Hi everyone! Today I am back with another card featuring the LDRS Creative Strawberry Patch stamp set and a video in which I share a super easy technique to spice up your card backgrounds!

For my card background I started by die cutting some watercolor cardstock with the With All My Heart cover die. This adds a nice stitching around the card front and a lovely dry embossed pattern.

I then die cut a heart shaped window from my background and ink blended it with Pistachios a Plenty ink by LDRS creative. I used a light hand and this way I emphasized the dry embossed background, adding a nice detail to this clean and simple card

For my card today I decided to combine the Strawberry Patch and the ice Cream Party stamp sets. I stamped them with Raven Hybrid Black Ink and colored them with Illustrator alcohol markers. Here is a list of the markers I used.

Bear: TN5, TN3, TN1, TN8, TN6
Ice Cream: FS8, FS6
Ice Cream Glass: BT1
Strawberry: CR6, CR4, CR2, LG5, LG3, LG1
Mouse: BG3, BG1

I also used LDRS Creative Soft Kisses Ink to stamp the ice cream topping.

sentiment and finishing touches

For the sentiment I used a label stamp from the Ice Cream Party set as well as one of the greetings in the Strawberry Patch stamp set.
I adhered the images to my card front using foam squares and for some finishing touches I used a glitter brush pen and Glossy Accents
