Just Us Girls #401 - Trend Week

Dear Ones~
This week is TREND WEEK over at Just Us Girls, and our gal Nancy has chosen the trend INK BLENDING.  This can most easily be done by using a sponge or sponge dauber, inking it up, and then applying it to the card stock with a swirling motion. Different inks and different card stocks produce different results.

Here's my card:

I used a TON of different ink colors on this card. All but one are Stampin' Up inks. I cut a circle out of card stock that was the same size as my card front. Then I first masked the rest of the card front and just left the circle exposed. After I was finished inking up the sun, I removed the first mask and placed the circle I had cut onto the sun to mask that off.  I inked up the rest of the card front with the pinks and blues. A happy accident was that I didn't get the sun masked off perfectly, and it left that white ring. I think it looks super cool. After I was done with the inking I just stamped the rest of the elements.
