Ink blending birthday

I love using inks to create blended backgrounds.  Sometimes I forget how easy it is to create a quick card by just blending a few ink colors together.

I made two cards using the same three colors, stamp set and embossing folder.  I just changed the sentiment and the orientation of the sentiment.

For this card I left the base of the cardstock bright white. I love how the sentiment piece really pops off the card.

For this one I sponged a lite amount of the blue onto the base piece to give a bit more dimension.  I went with a light hand so I didn't get a dark area.  I let it taper off as it got to the right side to give a fade look to it.
