Next, I used a rectangle die and I trimmed this panel down. I used Galaxy, Twilight, and Morning to ink blend the bottom part of my panel. Next, I used the Horizon Line stencil, this stencil has a brilliant design, you can simply slide your cardstock panel into or between the sections that you want to ink blend and you not only have the stencil but also the mask to protect the areas you have already blended. I used the circle mask from Simon Says Stamp to ink blend a sun using 3 shades of orange ink – Cantaloupe, Sherbet, and Mandarin. But this time I challenged myself to continue the card design from the front to the inside of my card! I hope you’ll join me and create a card with a simple design repeated on the inside. What do you do on the inside of your card? Truth be told, I rarely do anything and I just keep it boring and blank. Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says stamp!

( Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. What Do You Put on the Inside of Your Card? Yippee for Yana I hope I’ve inspired you to mix up your own batch of pink lemonade. Here’s to a summer of cool drinks and days at the beach. A simply sentiment under the main image finishes off the card. Using a light grey Copic marker under the images will also help ground everything nicely. And don’t forget to pop up a few of those images for dimension. By layering that circle onto a nested circle in pink really pulls the colors throughout the card. This will help it not compete with your main focal point.Īlso by placing the colored image onto a white circle lightly blending with ink makes a great landing spot for your main image. A great tip when creating these background designs, keep the color monochromatic by using the same color ink pad and cardstock. These images work perfectly to fill in a background on a card panel. Within the stamp set, there are a few supporting images such as tiny citrus fruit and mint stamps. I know, I know lemonade doesn’t sparkle but when on a card, it shall do just that by using a glitter pen in a few areas.

The images on the card were colored using Copic markers and die cut using the coordinating fancy dies. Summer colors that spoke to me were Hero Arts Peony, Arctic, Dove White and a splash of black. These days (since I’m fully grown), I like to whip up my pink lemonade with a few pours of a nice rum accented with lemons or lime slices and mint. Growing up I can remember standing on the kitchen stool helping my Mom whip up a pitcher of lemonade. Inspiration for my card comes from the refreshing summer taste of pink lemonade! Ahhh such a great summer drink. Who’s ready for summer? The newly released Hero Arts Lemonade Day stamp set and bundle make beautiful summer ready cards. Hi friends! Happy Monday!
