I tried something different and ink blended a FULL sheet of cardstock instead of individual card panels… and I’m kind of obsessed 😍💐

This large-scale stenciling technique let me create multiple cards from one background, and it was such a relaxing process. If you love florals, ink blending, and efficient card making, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

✨ New Video + Special Treat! ✨

I just shared a new video where I walk you through my process for creating a dramatic floral card using dark cardstock, high contrast ink blending, and a simple design formula you can use with any floral set.
