Ink Blended Cards - Thanks

Hello Lovely.  I'm back with more ink blending.  This is my go-to technique when I need to make several cards in a short amount of time.  It's also my favorite technique, maybe because I find blending the inks so relaxing.

I'm tickled with how bright and fun these color blends turned out.  I needed these to be more masculine, so I chose shades of yellow, orange, blue and green.  I used the stencil masking technique I'm so fond of and created four backgrounds.

The first two cards were created in shades of yellow, green and blue.  The card on the left is blended with Distress Inks in Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, and Mermaid Lagoon.  The card on the right is blended with Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Peacock Feathers, and Chipped Saphire.

The second two cards are were created in shades of yellow and orange.  The card on the left is blended from the bottom up with Distress Inks in Rusty Hinge, Ripe Persimmon, and Mustard Seed.  The card on the right is blended from the bottom up with Distress Inks in Ripe Persimmon, Wild Honey, and Mustard Seed.

I stamped the same sentiment from the Papertrey Ink's retired set Thanks All Ways, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink.  Each panel was die cut with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles dies, matted on black cardstock and then added to a white card base.

Thanks for swinging by today.
