Technique: Sunset Skies

I've had a crazy week and I needed to whip out a bunch of quick Father's Day cards for all the wonderful dads in my life. Here's a quick card that you can make with just a few supplies.



Using Glossy White cardstock and a few colors of Fun Stampers Journey True Color Fusion Ink Pads, you can make a quick and colorful sunset background. Simply swipe each color of ink pad across the cardstock, starting with the lightest color first (this is important so you don't contaminate your light ink pads with a dark color.) Overlap the colors so that they are well blended. The heavy pigment in FSJ pads makes them stay wet for a few minutes on glossy surfaces, so you can also use your finger to gently blend the colors once you've applied them all. No need to heat set it, it will dry completely in ten to fifteen minutes.

Next, use Black Licorice Ink to stamp your images. Here, I've used two inexpensive stamp sets, the treeline silhouette from Stay Wild ATS, and the airplane from Begin Adventure ATS.

Finally, heat emboss your choice of sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and viola!
