Easy Ink Blending Cards

My next card is for the Altenew Easy Ink Blending Card Technique Class. I really enjoyed this one. I love ink blending and how it looks and I learned some new ways to make it look more seamless and it flows together so much better. 

I ended up making two almost identical cards because I forgot to stamp the first one on watercolor cardstock so I could do some "fake" water coloring. That's okay though, I have two cards to send out now instead of one and it really didn't take much more time.

This first picture is of both cards. The one on the left is the "watercolor" card and the one on the right is regular ink blending. The watercolor card blended more smoothly together and when I added the spray of water The Altenew inks I used blended together even more.  I then stamped some of each color onto my media mat and using a paint brush I added just a tad more color to the dry cardstock. 

Here is a closer picture of each of the cards.  To give some dimension I used some cardstock that I couldn't use as part of a project and layered them behind my panels. This gave some great depth and I didn't have to waste the useless cardstock. 

I used the Larkspur stamp set as my main focal point and stamped them with embossing ink and embossed with white embossing power. I stamped each flower individually so that I could over lap them a bit. I also used halftone hello for both sentiments.  The inks I used were fresh lemon, frayed leaf, aqualicious, hydrangea and jet black.
