3 New Frame stamp sets from Pink Ink Designs

Pink Ink Designs launch 3 stunning frame stamp sets and textured paste.

These new stamp sets are from our Frames Series and are delicate circular floral designs. Each of the stamp sets comes with a cute little mouse who can sit in the middle but we left it separate to give you the option of not using it. They are all hand-drawn as always and are packed full of additional elements.

Take advantage of the promotion with £1.50 off each stamp. The promotion runs until Tuesday 20th September at 9 am (UK time) so don't miss out.

Don't forget that every A5 stamp set comes with an exclusive Pink Ink Designs Dinky Pinky of your choice when bought from our online shop, worth £4.99

We are also launching our Spread It texture pastes today in black, white, and clear. They are water-based and dry glossy. They are great for spreading through stencils or adding texture directly to your projects. The texture and colour can be changed by mixing in our Stardust mica powder, inks, paints, sand, glitter etc. before using. Our Wax Lyrical waxes are perfect for highlighting once the paste is dry.

Save The Date

We will be sharing lots of top tips and demonstrating this collection of stamps on Create and Craft on Friday 23rd September at 1 pm and 5 pm. We'd love you to join us.

Mixed Media Card step by step Using Pink Ink Designs Baby Elephant Stamp Set

Here's an easy step by step of how to create a mixed media card.

Step #1 - The background

First of all, I sprayed an A5 piece of Bockingford Watercolour card with water. Then randomly brushed on Pink Ink's Multi Surface Paint (Aubergine Dazzle and Fuchia) then added water and splashed it until I got the look that I wanted. Once it was dry, I stamped on the Katkin Krafts Fibonacci stamp using Versamark, covered with Wow white embossing powder and applied heat with a heat gun. I then added some more Aubergine Dazzle Multi Surface Paint to create further contrast.

Step #2 - Baby Elephants

To create the elephants I used the Baby Elephants Stamp Set and stamped them out onto Bockingford Watercolour card using a VersaFine Clair ink pad in Nocturne. I then used Multi Surface Paint in Inky Blue and painted them using a watercolour effect. I cut them out once dried ready to place on the background.

Step #3 - Adding more Interest

I wanted to create more interest in the background so used one of the elements from the stamp set and a script stamp from my stash and stamped various generations using Versacraft Garnet ink pad and some more black. I then marked off a strip at the bottom with stencil tape and created a border using Aubergine Dazzle Multi Surface Paint. Then splashed on the same paint and some white. I also added some more paint to the Fibonacci to create depth. More interest was added by using the same edger element from the stamp set and stamping it along the edge of the border in black.

Step #4 - Adding The Baby Elephants

Unfortunately, I forgot to press the record button for this step, ooops, sorry!

I stamped the two baby elephants onto the background and created a shadow using a black pastel pencil around the edge of the elephants. then stuck the painted elephants on top. I added dots of gold using embossing powder and circles of old book print to further enhance the project which I then created depth by shading with the pastel pencil.

Step #5 - Final Touches

Finally, I added some circles then painted the leaves with some Multi Surface Paint in spiced pumpkin and added splashes of this after covering the elephants. All that was left to do was to add it to a card blank.

Hope you enjoyed it x
