MFT Ingenious Inking Challenge

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.

Let-Your-Light-Shine-Feb-II-500Using 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.

Find-Joy-Feb-II-500Peaceful 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.
