Use your Inky Backgrounds for a Variety of Cards using One Stamp Set

 Hello friends! I'm posting today for The Funkie Junkie Boutique! The DT challenge was to use one of the Stampers Anonymous latest releases. I LOVE the Floral Trims Stamp set! SOOOO many ways to use it!


You know me....once I get started, there is no stopping me! Too much fun!

I have a video HERE if you prefer to watch the card making process.


 Let start with the second pass stenciled background! This is the background where I "printed" the stencil after spraying with Distress Ink Sprays.


I have always been attracted to rainbow colors, so I pulled out some of the brighter intense color sprays such as Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade for this one. This is the first "print" after spraying using the THS 167 Stencil.  I kept the original in my background box for future use. I spritzed the inked stencil, pressed it onto a piece of Distress Heavy Stock and set aside to dry.


Once dry, I set up my stamp positioner and inked one of the Floral Trim Stamps with Archival Black Sot ink. I inked the impression one maybe two times. After the ink was dry, I trimmed the image to 4.0 x 5.25 inches and added to an A2 panel of black cardstock mounted on an A2 base. I will add a sentiment at a fiture date.

The next card is the second print using THS167 Stencil. 


The second printing gives a very messy but colorful background. Additional spritzed water allowed the stencil print to wick more. After drying, I followed the same process, stamping with Archival Black Soot Ink!


You may notiece the blooms are a little more intense and have moved outside the inked edges. You can achieve this look by watercoloring the matching Ink Reinkers and adding enough water to allow the inks to wick outsid ethe image.


The sentiment is from Note Quotes CMS 463, stamped on Kraft cardstock and die cut with a circle die. The little yellow ribbon adds interest.


I love Saltwater Taffy and Picked Raspberry mixed with a little Kitch Flamingo spritzed on watercolor cardstock.


After the panel dries, use a plain water brush to soak up some the inks in the blooms by blotting with a paper towel. What I cool look! A little Wink of Stella adds a glittery glow.


Another Note Quote white embossed on Black cardstock is a great focal point for this one!

The next three cards are the result of printing with THS143 Stencil using different colors. We will start with the Orange and Yellow Toned Print.


This is the first print after spraying the THS143 Stencil with Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Ripe Persimmon Inks. The Ink Stencil is apritzes with water and printed onto a cream color cardstock. 


Once dry, Stamp the image with Archival Black Soot ink. Use coordinating re-inkers to add deeper colr to the blooms and leaves. Olive is a great color for the leaves in this case. Trim to 4.0 x 5,25 and mount on an A2 yellow cardstock panel on an A2 card base.


Stamp hello frind on Kraft Cardstock, cut with a circle die. ut one additionla circel and sandwicj a piece of ribbon between the circles and glue to the left lower panel from. Add a few white buttons for interest.


These backgrounds were created with the first and second stencil prints with the THS 143 Stencil. 


This is the first printing that as you can see is much darker.


Heat emboss the image this time using black pigment ink and Clear Embossing Powder. Add additional depth of color with reinkers and a waterbush. Trim to 4.00 x 5.25 and attach to a black A2 panel on an A2 cardbase. I used Sizzix thinlets 660225 to die cut the sentiment from Black ink.


The stencil was spritzed again with water and this second print was created. As you can see, it is much lighter than the print above.

The image was stamped in pigment ink and heat embossed just as the one above. 

Trim the panel to 3.75 x 5.0 inches and attach to a pick panel 4 x 5.25 inches and add to a white A2 card panel.


Heat emboss the sentiment from Sizzix 660189 and add to the front of the card.


Check out this very bright version! This is just a background inked with Roaring Campfire and Carved Pumkin sprays on watercolor paper. Once dry, the image was added.


Trim the panel to 4.0 on the long sides. Mount the panel on an A2 black carstock panel on an A2 cardbase. Add a die cut Hello from the Friends Die set 660225.

Last up of the inked panels is my favorite!  I love rainbow colors and this one did not disappoint!


The background is simply rainbow inks sprayed on watercolor cardstock. A little spritz of water allowed the inks to wick and blend! Love, love, love the bright colors! Spray Stains include Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed and Twisted Citron.


Stamp the Floral Trim Stamp with Black Soot Archival Ink. Trim to 4.0 x 5.25, mount on a black cardstock panel attached to an A2 cardbase.  Die cut Believe using Sizzix Die and glue to the bottom right area.

I was on a roll, so I created another card using the Palette Collage Paper. 


The Collage Paper is attached to an A2 card panel with double sided tape. You can mute the colors by adding Picket Fence Distress Paint on the top. Once dry, stamp the image using Black Soot Archival Ink. 


Select a rainbow pallet from the Distress Paint Collection. I used Picked Raspberry, Tumbled Glass, Olive, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard Seed. With a small drop of paint on your craft mat, dilute with water and brush on the stamped flowers. Don't worry if it looks like a hot mess, because you will go back and do another stamping to darken the outlines.

Hint: tape the outline of where the edges of the card panel is to help placement for the second stamping!


Wow! I really love the look of Distress Paints on the Collage Paper!
