Hello friends!

I have a total of 3 cards here and the background of these cards are different. They are very simple and easy cards. 


Holi is a widely celebrated festival in North India. It is also called as ‘Festival of colours’ or ‘festival of love’ where it signifies the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships.

Ink blending background

A BRIEF TUTORIAL

  1. To make this card, I did ink blending for the background. 
  2. I used Altenew inks – warm sunshine, lavender fields, frayed leaf and ocean waves for the background. 
  3. Yellow brings out the brightness in colours. 
  4. Since its dye ink, it dries up fast. 
  5. I stamped the sentiment, bucket image and palm image using Altenew jet black ink (after it has dried completely to avoid smudging)
  6. To finish the card, I added liquid pearls and added this to a side fold note card.
