Hey everybody! It's just me, May Flaum here, and you know I just am so in love with the color Navy in my ink lately. In fact, you might say it is one of my favorite colors of ink! This is relevant because this week here at Simon Says Stamp & Show we're sharing projects with our favorite inks.
I blame the Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire distress paint for this recent navy obsession, because ever since I got that paint I have been really inspired by this color in general. To show you how I made the card above, and talk about my favorite navy colored inks as well as color combinations and more possibilities, I've created a video to share with you here today.
Products shown in video include Hero Arts Navy ink, She Art Stencil, and Basic Grey embellishment, Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink, heat tool, clear embossing powder, foam blending tool, and Hero Arts bird stamp.
Now I leave it to you! Whether I've inspired you to run wild with the rich blue hues or you're feeling nautical, or of course if you want to share your own personal favorite ink be sure to enter this week's challenge! The prize (randomly drawn) is a $50 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp shop! It's full of inky goodness always of course.
For the full challenge rules check out the information in the side bar, and to be entered just check out the post just below this for the inky challenge. We'll be back next week with an all new challenge of course - we're always up to something!
(and there's loads of new fun stuff in store too!)

ReplyDeleteThis really looks like a bit of jeans!..LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteLove this color too. It's so beautiful and looks great with almost any other color, especially pale tomato.
ReplyDeleteGreat video May and loving your blue phase...
ReplyDeleteI also love blue, especially the way it can represent so many different moods.
ReplyDeleteExcellent ideas. I am going to have to get some navy ink now. You are such an enabler! Oh and I think I need that stencil too. LOL! Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteFabulous tutorial video May! Love the stencil work and the great shades of navy blue.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome May, love all the techniques and that Navy is beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love watching your videos. Always fun and inspiring. Im like u I'll just sit and play and mix things up to see how it all turns out in the end. It's not any fun if u dont experiment and less fun if you don't make a mess. Messy inky fun is the best
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your video too. Lots of great information. Will try using foam applicator with stencils. Pretty cards and guess what?!? I had JUST bought that bird stamp! So cute. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great ideas for playing with inks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous denim look to the background, and the lacy doily is awesome!

great work. love the video learning too!
ReplyDeleteI too am a fan of Hero Arts inks. Although I still adore my Distress inks. I have never tried using Hero Inks with an ink blending tool, why? I have no idea! But thanks for opening up a whole new world if ideas. Great video, great card. Thanks May. Oh by the way, do you have any hints on how to make more hours in the day?
