Coloring with Inks & Blender Pen – More Monthly Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner!
Happy Saturday, all! Kristina here with some more inspiration featuring the March 2018 Card Kit! This kit is packed with SO much stuff that it was hard to narrow down what I wanted to use! In the end, I decided to create a one-layer card using the two stamp sets, inks, and a blender pen.
I first stamped the bunny image from the Showers and Flowers stamp set onto a cream notecard from the kit. I stamped it in VersaFine Clair Ink in Morning Mist. I colored the image using a blender pen (I’ve linked a Dove Blender pen below because that’s what I recommend, however in the video I used a clear blender from Tombow because that’s what I had on hand) and five different ink colors: Green Leaf, Stone, Catkin, and Hot Lips from Simon Says Stamp, and Wild Rose from Lawn Fawn.
I used the same ink colors to stamp the ribbon border stamp from the Choose Joy stamp set on the bottom half of the card. I also stamped a greeting from that stamp set in the Morning Mist ink.
To finish off the card, I added shimmer using the Nuvo Glitter Glaze brush pen from the kit to the pink areas on the coloring.
I hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for stopping by today! You can get the March 2018 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE.

Color Coordinates: Spring Rain
Hello everyone!! Welcome to the blog and Happy Friday!! I have a super fun technique and color combination for you that I think you will like. I am inspired by thought of Spring after all the snow we’ve gotten lately here in the Mid-West.
I used blues, greens and a hint of purple for this combo, which remind me of rain and ocean breezes. I’ve also figured out that Simon brand inks can be used to custom color tissue paper. What?? This opens up a lot of possibilities for me!!
I am so thrilled that this worked and I can’t wait to try it in all sorts of colors. Todays Color Coordinate ink colors look nice when they are overlapped with each other especially using the tissue paper. The in between colors blend nicely.
I’ve filmed a video of the complete process which you can view below or on our Youtube channel HERE.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this technique and collection of colors. Enjoy!!
