Reactive Ink Lifting - Hero Arts

Reactive Ink Lifting

Hi everyone! Ilina here! Today I have a fun card for you using the new Reactive Inks and the From the Vault Butterfly wood mount stamp.

To make the card start with a piece of Dove White cardstock measuring 3 3/4" x 5" and using a blending brush or blending tool, blend some Pool Party Reactive Ink into a shape of a circle. Splash with some water and pick up the water with a paper towel.

Ink the butterfly stamp with Embossing and Watermark Ink, then directly on top with Intense Black Ink and stamp onto the panel (make sure the panel is dry before stamping). Emboss with Sparkle Embossing Powder.

Use clear brush and pick up the color from inside the butterflies. Once dry color it in using Thistle Reactive Ink. (Applying clean water lifts up the color from the area you color in.)

Stamp sentiment from Mix and Match Compliments onto Pitch Black cardstock using Embossing and Watermark Ink and emboss in white. Trim to size and adhere to panel. Create a top folding note card from Pitch Black cardstock and assemble your card. Add Icicle sequins to finish it off.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a creative day!
