Expressions In Ink

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Lisa — No Comments ↓

The Expressions in Ink suite is so gorgeous that it has a well-deserved place on the front cover of the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. This suite combines the abstract beauty, fluid design, and bold colors of alcohol inks and watercolor, without any of the mess! The gold embellishments and accents add the perfect touch of elegance to this artistically inspired suite.

The card tutorial below features heat embossing, paper-piecing, and layer upon layer of texture and detail. It’s a great way to combine the watercolor images with the coordinating, but not matching, detailed die cuts. Just imagine all the colors you could re-create this project in for occasions like birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries.

I appreciate all of the wonderfully talented stampers out there for sharing their creativity. I am inspired by their designs when I create my cards and projects. I try to change something about the original, so it isn't a complete copy, but sometimes -- well -- let's just say that it's just hard to mess with perfection. LOL

Therefore, unless otherwise noted the projects on my blog are probably a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from another awesome stamper. If I remembered where I originally saw the design, I will absolutely give the credit to the original artist. If you see one of your designs on my site and I have not given you the proper credit, please e-mail me to claim your fame and get the mention you deserve! I have no desire to claim credit for someone else's talent.
