Ink Smooshing with Mica Sprays

By KariV on November 9, 2024 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

Hello! Today I have a fun project using Mica Sprays for Ink Smooshing! I’ve never used this medium for ink smooshing before, but found that it adds some fun pearl shine to a background.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I love this set from Miss Ink Stamps…these Axolotls are so fun! I used the coordinating dies for this one, and this time I was SOOOO happy to use them…cutting these critters out would have been a bear! See how the dies cut out the inside pieces too? So perfect.

For ink smooshing I used Distress inks and then Mica Sprays. See the video for how I did this. The EIEIO Frame die set has four frame dies and I used them ALL on this card. I also used the included alphabet dies to spell the word “ALOTL.” I just love creating my own sentiments like this.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! Thanks for stopping by!

Fireworks Card

By KariV on June 22, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I have a fun fireworks card to share with a video, too! I’m using more images from the Magical Collection from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I start with a dark background and use some Mica and glittery embossing powder to make things really POP!

I have to admit, I’m really loving the Magical Collection for some fun cards…the images are fantastic! Here I colored up the characters a little darker than I normally might because it is night time, after all. I used Copic markers on them, and I share the colors in the video.

The Mica Sprays in the background are sprayed over the Arabian Nights stencil. I love how they shimmer in the background…I used Gold, Copper, and Silver for this and they combine together so nicely.

I popped up the images using a favorite trick: die cutting the shape multiple times and stacking it up. This makes it so sturdy and a significant embellishment on the card!
