Hi everyone! Today the MFT design team begins a new monthly challenge – Ingenious Inking. This month we are showing how our line of MIX-ables can be used to alter our Premium Dye Inks, Pigment Inks and Hybrid Inks to create new looks and applications. “MIX-ables make it easy to add sparkle, shine, and glitz to projects – subtle or bold –it truly is a bit of crafting magic.”
On my first card, I used Sheer Shimmer Mix-ables over a sponged Herringbone Bricks stenciled background.
Using a blending tool, I applied Lemon Drop, Razzleberry and Pink Lemonade dye inks to a Sweet Tooth card base. I spritzed on Sheer Shimmer Mix-ables and allowed to dry.
The first line of the sentiment, from Watt’s Up?, was stamped in Black Licorice dye ink then clear embossed. SHINE was die-cut from Black Licorice card stock using Bright Lights Alphabet.
Inside, I used a leftover strip of the sponged/spritzed background and stamped a sentiment from Watt’s Up?.
Next, I sponged In the Buff, Coral Crush, Persimmon and Cherry Crisp dye inks onto Sweet Tooth card stock, then heavily sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Mix-ables.
Peaceful Wildflowers and a sentiment from Cheerful Blessings were both stamped in black and clear embossed.
I love the bit of sparkle and shine the Sheer Shimmer leaves behind.
Inside, I stamped a couple flowers using Persimmon dye ink and stamped a sentiment from Words of Inspiration.
Be sure to check out the MFT blog for direct links to all participating DT sharing more ways to use Mix-ables with MFT inks.
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
