Hey friends! Happy Thursday and welcome do another dose of Miss Ink Stamps inspiration. Today I’m going a little mixed media and extra messy for you. It took me a couple of evenings but it was fun and I’m very happy with the outcome.
I started the process by inking up the mug layer of the Hug in a Mug stencil set with various bright colors. Then I added the layer with the handles and mug details and spread Thermoweb transfer gel blanco through it. While that was drying, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Coffee stamp set on vellum.
The next evening I trimmed out some Thermoweb bronze deco foil, layered it with the stenciled panel and ran it through my Minc machine. This is where I turned the tables from bright to grungy. I inked the edges of the panel with ground espresso distress oxide ink and faded in the center to tea dye. Then I spritzed the panel with a distress sprayer and flicked ground espresso ink all over it. After that dried, I tore the right edge off my panel and inked the edge a little to lessen the brightness of the white paper core.
Next, I added some washi tape to the edge of a white card base and popped my stenciled panel up on that with foam tape. Then used the edge of my scissors to distress the sentiment panel a little and adhered it with liquid glue.
