One of our assighment for this month is "Red, White and Blue"

This time, I wanted to try on unfinished wooden frame in artsy way.

1. Started with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® All-Purpose Ink™- White  as base coat.
Using IMAGINE Crafts® InkBlushers™ spread ink thinly.

2. Stencil (Plaid, Stampendous ) star patterns here and there with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink. Colors ofDanube Blue, Bahama Blue and Love Letter are used here.

3. Applied thin coat of IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® All-Purpose Ink™ - Champagne to give a little glare. 

4. Stamp (Stamington & Co., Limited Editions) with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink - Espresso Truffle.

5. Add some accent using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Fantastix™ Multi-Purpose Applicators

6. Stencil with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink - Espresso Truffle for finishing touch.

Add some Espresso Truffle to the edge, and done!

Blog Hop

Today is a fun day because Imagine Crafts® / Tsukineko® & Avery Elle have paired up for a blog hop!  There are going to be a lot of amazing projects on the hop today showing how well Avery Elle and Imagine Crafts / Tsukineko products work together.  We also have a fun giveaway, so be sure to visit all of the blogs participating.

Now my challenge!

When I see their website, I'm in love instantly for neat, cute, stylish designs.

For my challenge, I chose "Blossoms & Blooms" stamp set.

Before the IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink came, I used to avoid solid images because I'm not good at stamping without missing spot. 

Now I'm pretty much confident to use solid images without booboo.  

How to:

Stamp stem with leaves with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink Northern Pine.

Keep on stamping without inking towarding down direction to make longer and shaded stems.

Stamp flowers on top of each stems with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink Love Letter.

Die cut stamped panel and scollped circle (Spellbinders).

Add trimmed design paper (K Company) onto folded card.

Sentiment (unknown) is stamped with IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink - Tuxedo Black

Assemble card - that's it!

Good thing is IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink won't stain clear stamps.  Just clean with water,  my new favorite stamps set is good as new :)
