Spellbinders – Jane Davenport Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Hello! Welcome to the Spellbinders Jane Davenport Blog Hop!

You came here from: Virginia Lu (full list is down below!)

I had so much fun playing with some Inkredible inks for this fabulous hop. It was my first time and I absolutely love how vibrant these can be or muted depending on how to play with them. Be sure to scroll all the way through for the GIVEAWAY details below!

I started off with a sheet of watercolor card stock cut down to 4.25 x 5.5 and I used the textured side. For the first card, I used the color Inkredible Ink Hydrangea, which is this bright beautiful blue color. I misted the cardstock with clean water, making sure to leave some areas that were dry. I then tapped the ink into the watered areas, straight out of the bottle. Once I achieved the amount I wanted, I let the background air dry (which is hard to do when you are limited on craft time!). I decided to jump right into using the other color Inkredible Ink Blueberry, but something I did by accident (but is my usual MO) is I flipped the water color cardstock over and used the smoothed side. I didn’t realize it until I was done with the card. However, I proceeded with the same technique, mist with water and then tapped the color onto it. But something I was mystified by was that the color was much brighter a first, but then faded to a muted purple. Well, it was because of how I had the cardstock turned!

Once the panels dried, I then added some color to my glass media mat and grabbed a smaller fluffy brush and proceeded to splatter ink right on. I loved how the concentrated color was darker and showed up so, like I had used a different product.

I then pulled out a stamp set from a previous Card of the Month club for the sentiment, and a previous Small die of the month for the leafy medallion. I added vellum to the medallion to help it pop against the splatter backgrounds. I then trimmed the panels down .25 inch and added them all together! I finished them off with some Shimmer Mist and some baubles.
