As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, I’m showcasing another card we made at our crafty gitls group gathering this past week. As I mentioned, we enjoyed ink blending and creating inked backgrounds with stencils.
I completed this card using the Layers of Beauty Bundle and one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. (Stampin’ Up! refers to Stencils as “Masks”).
The Layers of Beauty Bundle includes the stamps, dies, and Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks. This makes it so easy to create the flower cluster.
How To Create This Inked Background
- Stamp the large flower cluster using Black Memento Ink.
- Choose your color palette. I chose Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock for my flowers.
- The Color Coach Color Wheel can help you choose the colors. You can choose a light, medium and dark tone of a color family by looking at the Coloc Wheel.
- One of the ladies chose Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral; one chose Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry. We also had Poppy Parade, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler flowers. They were all stunning!
Here are the color combinations we used:




The “How To” Continued
- We inked the leaves on the flowers with Granny Apple Green and Old Olive ink.
- There are five Masks you will use to complete the flower cluster.
- The Masks are numbered. Starting with “Number 1”, use the lightest color, then work from there.
- Use Granny Apple Green, then Old Olive when you get to the leaf Masks.
- Once your flowers are inked, the last step is to cut the cluster using the coordinating die in the Bundle.

We used different background Masks for our projects. I used one of the patterns from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. Although, no longer available, I thought it worked well with the flowers. I used my White Pigment Ink and a Blending Brush.
One of the ladies used a linear background pattern from the Lovliest Layers Decorative Masks for her card.
Although, not all of the products we used for this card are available, you can create an inked background using a favorite background stamp and ink.
I truly enjoyed sharing this post with you, and hope it inspires you to get out some ink, a blending brush, a stamp or Mask, and create a beautiful and unique card to share.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
