As you have seen in the video, there are so many things you can do when you combine the Inspiring Imperfections bundle, the Kintsugi Inspirations paper and other touches like Gold Foil and Gold labels & tags and my favorite: creating Kintsugi cards with ink blending for shading! It feels like an endless possibility when mixing and matching these amazing Stampin’ Up! card making supplies!

Above / Below: this was my favorite ah-ha moment… stamping the vase and cup in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White cardstock, then adding some ink blending with my blending brushes and more Misty Moonlight ink. I thought this created such gorgeous die cut vases and cups!

A crafting workspace with a grid mat, ink pad, blending brush, and stamped vases on white paper. Blue ink is blended around the vase images, and the website “PattyStamps.com” is printed on the paper. Some ink smudges are visible on the mat. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

And yes, in reality, I guess the peony should be in the vase, not the cup.. but it’s ok.. it works and I love how the card turned out!
