Get the Endless Love Bundle

Sometimes a technique is just too good to use only once – and the Ink Blending Pop technique is definitely one of those. I couldn’t resist making one more card to show how versatile (and downright pretty) this technique can be, especially for Valentine’s Day.

For this card, I used the Endless Love bundle to create a soft-but-bold background of hearts. I blended Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush, Berry Burst, and Petunia Pop inks across a panel of Basic White, then I heat embossed four hearts in white. The white embossing helps those hearts pop off the background. Finally, I used the same colors of ink and a Water Painter to add more saturated ink inside the hearts. 

To finish the card, I added a bold sentiment on a die-cut label and kept the rest clean and simple so the blended background could do all the heavy lifting. This is such a great reminder that when your background shines, you don’t need much else.
