Love Story Romantic Umbrella Card with Spray Ink Background

Create a colourful background by using dirty brushes and card pieces as stencils to apply leftover ink.

Build up the background colour by applying ink at different angles with your makeshift stencil.

Mount a black card piece in the centre of your background.

Mask off the bottom portion of the love story stamp using cardstock to hide the legs.

Stamp the love story image in black ink over the masked area.

Remove the mask to reveal the umbrella and couple without the lower portion.

Apply white splatter or gesso over the stamped image to create a snowy effect.

Add additional colour splashes using spray inks in complementary tones.

Apply pearlescent IZINK spray onto an acrylic block and mix with water.

Paint the diluted spray ink onto your card using a fan brush to create an oxide effect around the edges.

Apply a fussy brush stencil over the background to add texture and detail.

Heat-set the textured stencil work to dry it quickly.

Mount the finished card onto a base card to create an easel-style display.
