Your Next Stamp DT Dare "Get Inky"

Hello fellow card makers.

Today I am sharing with you a card I made for the newest Design Team Dare by Your Next Stamp. We were asked to "Get Inky" and, as any paper-crafter should know, nobody has to ask us to get inky but since they did, lol, I DID! I broke out some Distress inks and used them to watercolor a background on my project today. To see everything the Your Next Stamp Design Team has created for this event (CLICK HERE!) to visit the Your Next Stamp Blog.

I used the new Hobby Chicks stamp set and coordinating dies, as well as the new Ripped Rectangles die set on my project.

I started with a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock. I used a wet on wet technique to add colors of Distress ink to my project. For a full list of supplies, look below. I stamped the sentiment right in the center (sort of) using Scrapbook.com's white pigment ink. I then heat embossed it with Simon Says Stamp's Detail White embossing powder.  I cut out my front panel using the large rectangle from MFT's blueprints 1 dienamics. I then cut out the sentiment portion of my panel using the middle die from the new ripped rectangles die set. I popped up both the entire front panel and the center portion with black craft foam.

I then stamped my images using Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear heat embossed it with Stampin' Up!'s clear embossing powder. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color my images. I cut them out using their coordinating dies and popped them up with Scotch 3M foam tape.

I finished off my project adding various colors of Nuvo Jewel drops all over the front panel of the card. The card base is made from Simon Says Stamp's Fog cardstock.
