Hello! Today I have a fun card and video to share…this time it’s Tropical! I have a brand new stencil from Miss Ink Stamps to share that I’ve paired with Pretty Birds for a bright and happy card.
This new stencil is so pretty…and I love using two colors of ink on this stencil, so they blend together ever so slightly. It’s a perfect tropical background for these tropical birds!
I love a bright card, too…and happy, colorful birds!

I used the mask stencil from Cheetah Portrait stencil to begin…I LOVE that the mask stencil was included. There are so many options you can do with this mask included!
I inked the background first with one of my favorite colors, then I added the Cheetah Spots using the same colors. After that, I was able to ink on the Cheetah using the layers of the stencil. (see all the details in my video)!

Hello! Today I’m making a scene with some new products from Miss Ink Stamps. Have you ever made an orangutan card? Yes, I did look up the spelling of orangutan to make sure that I spelled it right! Lol
I created a short video with tricks to creating this scene, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
I started by coloring the jungle ruins and the big green leaves TWICE. I colored up the first layer of leaves in only one shade of green. Then I colored up the second panel of leaves and fussy cut them out so I could LAYER them on top. This creates fun dimension to this card.
How cute are those monkeys?! I also added a second layer of the palm tree on the left. I popped up the orangutan and the sentiment, too.
For the sunset, I ink blended some Distress Oxides in three colors. Then I cut the top of the Jungle Ruins panel off to reveal that sunset!

Hello! Today I have a favorite technique to share…using stencils and sprays. I created a short video to show the technique, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
This is a favorite technique…and I challenge you to try this with at least 2 different stencils and 2 different colors for one panel! It’s surprising and fun to see what you get in the end.
I hope you enjoyed this video and technique today. I’ll be back soon with more cards to share!
