Classics March Inspiration | Ink Blended Circles Card with Kaja

Hi there, It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I am super honored to be guest designing for Spellbinders this week. For my cards, I will be using dies from a brand new Classics March release. Take a look at my first project:

Classics March Collection Inspiration | Ink Blended Circles Card with Kaja for Spellbinders using S4-903 Fancy Edged Circles, S4-902 Scored and Pierced Circles, SBS-138 Tiny Sentiments #cardmaking #spellbinders #diecutting #handmadecard #inkblending

I started by ink blending the whole panel of my watercolor paper. I decided to use Distress oxides since they blend really easily, and the results are awesome even without a lot of effort. I used four colors: Pine Needles, Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Faded Jeans. Next, I sprinkled some water directly on the panel and then wipe it away with tissue. This gives it a nice splotchy look and since I used watercolor paper I got even better result.

Then, I decided that I will use circles on my card. I picked up 5 of them, 2 of which are from Fancy Edged Circles and the other 3 are from Scored and Pierced Circles. I positioned it over my ink blended panel in the order I wanted to have on my card. When I was happy with how it looked I run it through my die cut machine to cut it. I used my liquid glue to glue the circles on the card base and then I stamped the ‘congrats!’ sentiment in black on the biggest circle I have on my card.

To finish the card off I added a stamped hummingbird that I popped up with some foam tape.
