Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing a project we have been working on. I saw a video recently using a colour blocking technique and thought I would give it a try. I have used the Delicate Forest stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

I used some washi tape from my stash to mask off areas on the 5¼” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card.

Using Blending Brushes, I added Lemon Lolly ink to all three panels, varying the position with each panel. Next, I added Peach Pie ink. Finally, I added Petunia Pop ink to each masked third.

Leaving the washi tape in position I stamped a couple of the images from the Delicate Forest stamp set in Pebbled Path ink onto each panel. I carefully removed the washi tape.

I inked the sentiment, from the My Small Business stamp set, using the three colours used for blending. I started with the ‘A and N’ which I inked up with Lemon Lolly ink, having masked off the other 4 letters. The remaining letters were then inked up and the whole world stamped in the blank area.
