July Ingenious Inking DT Challenge––Resistance is Futile

Hi, all, welcome to the MFT’s July Ingenious Inking DT Challenge. This month we’re challenge to do some embossed resist on our cards or projects.




This is one of my favorite inking techniques and I had fun getting inky! I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then, on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper, I stamped Tiny Stars Background with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. To do my resist technique, I used Blueberry dye ink. First, with a water brush, I dampened the watercolor paper, then loaded my brush with ink and swiped it on. It took about three “layers” to get the depth of color and coverage that I was looking for but it was so worth the effort.




I dried it with my heat tool and popped it up on foam mounting tape after tying around some hemp baker’s twine at the top. Next, I stamped the two sentiments, from LLD Count the Stars, on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder before popped them up on foam. I cut the “Star” from LLD Stars & Wishes Die-namics from Silver Sparkle card stock and popped that up, as well, before adding some smaller stars in silver and glue glitter paper.




And there you have it! A fun technique and a fun card! Thanks so much for stopping by today—see you soon!

MFT Ingenious Inking Design Team Challenge - Compatible With Copics

Hi, everyone, welcome to this month’s MFT Ingenious Inking Design Team Challenge! This month is all about being compatible with Copics. MFT has some incredibly CUTE images to color and one of my favorite ways to color is with Copic markers. And, of course, MFT’s hybrid inks are completely compatible with Copics! No smearing or bleeding with these babies! Being waterproof, they are also compatible with many other coloring mediums but today we’re focusing on Copic markers.

My DH and I just got back from a trip to Italy. We have several awesome house/cat sitters and I needed a thank you card for one of them. What better than this sweet PI Feline Better for a cat lover, right? With Black Licorice hybrid ink, I stamped the two images with my MISTI on PI Feline Better Die-namics cut from Neenah Classic Crest Cover, Solar White Smooth, 110lb paper, then colored them with Copic markers. I used a card base made from Coral Crush card stock stamped with Lace Background and Versamark, then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. Next I added a Sweet Tooth card stock layer to which I added white embossing paste through MPD Scallops Stencil. Then I added a strip of Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with Striped Backgrounds and Black Licorice dye ink along with a strip of Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with part of a sentiment from PI Woof You. LJD Scribbles Die-namics cut from Black Licorice card stock and a Black Licorice button tied with baker’s twine finished it off after I popped up the colored images on foam mounting tape.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from LJD Grand Greetings.



And that’s it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by--see you soon!

MFT May Ingenious Inking Design Team Challenge: Watercolor Wash

Hello there, everyone! It’s time for another MFT Ingenious Inking Design Team Challenge! This month’s challenge is to use a watercolor wash—one of my favorite techniques.



I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then, since I new I wanted a delicate frame around my water colored panel, I free- hand drew two lines with a fine line black marker—with a little guidance from a ruler--and popped it up on foam mounting tape. Then I did the wash on Ranger watercolor paper with Pure Plum dye ink, Razzle Berry dye ink, and Orange Zest dye ink and a medium water brush. I popped that up on foam, too, then added my sentiment panel, also popped up on foam. For it, I stamped a sentiment from LLD Stay Tuned on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. To finish off the card, I added some enamel dots and some glitter paper stars, cut from Blueprints 25 Die-namics and Sun, Moon, & Stars Die-namics and adhered them.

A sentiment from Friends Like Us was stamped on the inside with Black Licorice dye ink.




And that’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you soon!
