Souper One Layer Card

Every once in awhile, I enjoy making cards based on unique holidays. When I saw that Feb. 4th is National Homemade Soup Day, I could not wait to make a card to celebrate, haha! I love nothing more than making a big pot of homemade soup and eating on it for days. I was happy that I had just what I needed in my stash to pull off my soup card. I'm featuring products from Ink Blot Shop and I hope you'll scroll down to see what else inspired today's card!

My inspiration for this card is based on the lovely floral/teal cookware created by The Pioneer Woman. Ree Drummond is amazing and I absolutely drew my inspiration from her beautiful line of cookware. I follow her on Instagram and love taking some of her recipes for a spin from time to time.

Now, you know when you get an idea for a card and you silently tick off the items needed in your head to make the card? Happily, I had just what I needed to pull this off. I used 3 different stamp designs from Ink Blot Shop.

I did a fair amount of masking to pull off this one layer card, plus (confession time) I chopped off the edge of one of my floral border stamps. GASP, HORRORS!  Haha, not a big deal, it will still stamp properly when I stamp again with the border stamp. That's when a stamp positioner comes in handy.

The 3 stamps sets I used are:

Botanical Borders

Get Grounded

Food For Thought

I also used a variety of Copic Markers for my coloring. No fancy ink blending, just straight coloring. 

Here's my breakdown of colors:

Pot - BG11

Florals - R24, Y02, YG 63, 

Counter top - C1

I also had a silver metallic gel pen that I used for the metal rims of the lid and pot. I also used a white gel pen to accent my bloom centers.

Thanks so much for stopping in. I hope you're inspired to have fun and find a unique holiday that inspires your cardmaking.  If you'd like more details on any of the products that I used or would like to shop, I have convenient affiliate links provided for you below. Have a great day!

CAS Culinary Card

Here's another card that features stamps from Ink Blot Shop.  This stamp set is called "Food For Thought" and I was thrilled when I discovered it at Simon Says Stamp.  My teen is a culinary student and I've been looking for just the right stamp set to make culinary, foodie, gourmet cards and to also incorporate into some scrapbook layouts from my son's culinary competitions.  It makes a fun Mothers Day card too.  Or,  teachers... It's versatile enough for all the special people in your life!

I thought I would stamp this image and do some paper piecing.  To my surprise, it resulted in a comical, cartoonish effect that I absolutely love!  The flat dimension really lends itself to that style.  Simply stamp on white cardstock and again on red cardstock.  Trim the white sections and adhere on top of the red stamped image, then fussy cut your pot.

I used blender brushes from Picket Fence Studio, to blend Hero Arts soft brown ink in the background.  It gives a homey, warm feel to the card and places even more focus on the pot, which is the star of the show.  My black ink is from Clearsnap, Wicked Black, one of my absolute favorites.  It's great for stamping and coloring with Copic Markers, as I did for those little drops of steamy water splatters using C3 and C1 Copic Sketch.

Many of the images in this stamp set are very large which I love.  You will be pleasantly surprised at how big this entire stamp set is.  It's such a versatile set and I'm going to be making up a storm of cards for passing along to teachers, friends and family.
