Inked Embellishments Autumn Card


Hello! I forgot to take an off from work last Saturday to celebrate Happy World Card Making Day. I will try again next year. I am so glad that the celebration did not end that day. Some blogs have their sales and challenges extended for a few more days. Thank you! What I love about this day is participating on the instant, timed challenges sponsored by different craft companies. For me, this means using what I have and shaking up my creative head since I have to work with the limited supply I have.

I am using Jillibean Soup products for this challenge. I smooshed ink on a white Jillibean Soup Doily. I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks in Fired Brick, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint for the colors. On my last color layer, I spritz WPlus9 Shimmer Pure Color Spray on a Ranger Craft Mat and pounced the inked doily on it. I dried the doily with a heat gun in between color layers.

I watercolored the JS White Smile Wise Words sticker. I first used Finetec Inka Gold but added black Kuretake Gansai Tambi over it to make the sentiment pop over the inked doily. The good thing is that the watercolored sentiment sticker retained the pearl finish of the gold paint. I adhered this to the doily.

I added JS Chilled Cucumber Soup letter stickers to a JS wood banner from the JS Large Wood Shape Assortment pack to complete the sentiment. I traced the letters with a Sakura brown gelly roll pen to change the color from gray to brown. I carefully added clear Wink of Stella to the stickers, avoiding the already dried gel ink.


I adhered this to a circle fun foam for some dimension. I die cut a circle from the JS Country Pumpkin Chowder 6x6 mini pad. I adhered it to the back of the fun foam.

For the panel, I cut a 4" x 5 1/2" JS Irish Farm House Soup patterned paper. Using a paint brush, I flicked gold watercolor to this panel using the same Finetec gold paint I used earlier. I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Vintage Photo to hide the white core of the paper.

I adhered this to a dark brown cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I then adhered it to a top folding notecard. I added Nuvo Glitter Drops Golden Sunset as a finishing touch.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
