Ink blending with water lifting
Our group of seven cardmakers this month is doing ink blending with water lifting. It is a fun way to get a different look to your cards. I used a Hero Arts stamp for my first card and a Waffle Flower stamp for my second. I lifted the ink off to create highlights to the flowers using water and a small paintbrush. Then blotted the color off with a paper towel. I hope you'll visit all the ladies to see their creative cards using this technique.

Hello to you too, Brenda...The ink blending and color lifting adds such a cool effect to your cards...I finally got to make one card, but now looking forward to making more to add to our linky:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
Haha! You get me giggling and then I have to go back and reread your post, Brenda, but I'm not complaining. It's nice to come here for a laugh! You got wonderful results using this technique on your two pretty cards! I love both designs! Hugs, Darnell
Your stampings are so pretty with just the highlights removed with water Brenda - I never thought to just take a bit off - it gives a great effect! Julia xx
Both of them are so beautiful. Love the way you lifted the ink. So pretty.

Beautiful Brenda, I love your CAS look with the corner blending and inked panel and so clever to create highlights on the flowers. xx
Fun cards my friend! Both are really pretty and I shall give it a try, you have inspired me! I have a house guest for 3 weeks from Norway, she first came to Oregon in 1966, so we have been friends a long time, she is also a cousin of my husband! We went to the beach for three days with 4 other girls we all went to high school with and had a blast bringing up memories and sharing stories! She is sitting watching youtube shows that she follows in Norway, so a good time to slip away and get caught up with my friends! Hope all is well! Heart Hugs, Col
Beautiful cards Brenda. I LOVE how you've removed the colours to create highlights for your blooms. So creative and clever, my friend! Love, Lolly
Where do you find all these giggles, my friend! Oh, and your lifting techniques worked beautifully! I especially love the different degrees of lifting on the second card!
Two beautiful flower cards - love the colours you chose and the images! Good job on our technique this month!
That looks like such a fun technique and I love the floral images on both cards. The flecks of white in the first card look so pretty, but being a purple girl I'm especially fond of the 2nd one :)
Interesting technique, I must try it sometime, kinda like the bleach technique, forgot how it worked but there were the flicks of white, this seems less messy. Nice cards though, don't think we will ever run out of ways of making cards there is always something new on the horizon!!!! I always find it very inspiring to come to your blog.
Two beautiful inked cards Brenda. love the colours.

Love how you just lifted small areas--great idea!
What a fun technique from the Group of 7! I love your cards Brenda! The orange one with the poppies is so pretty, the lifted color highlights them so well. I also love the way you did your sentiment on and off the orange. Your second card colors are beautiful! The cacti plant is perfect in those colors and I love the lifted areas. What a beautiful get well card! Hugs, Brenda
Hi Brenda,
what a very fabulous technique and the stamps used are gorgeous.
Love the sentiment stamps used also.
What a great joke today it did make me smile.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful cards using an interesting technique, Brenda! Lovely poppies with all the orange and gorgeous second card in pretty color! Have a great weekend, hugs!!
This technique looks so effective on the flowers Brenda, great way to add some dimension to them, both pretty cards, Cathy x
