It’s time for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop (IRBH) for July. This month’s theme is Sunshine. I can’t wait to see what this talented group has made. For my project, I made a thank you card the color of sunshine, with sunshine shining down on sunshine colored flowers. Do you think I captured the theme okay?
The look I was going for on this card was like one of those photos that has had all the color completely desaturated except for just a few areas that are left vibrant. I used the Daffodil Delight Pigment Sprinkles and an Aqua Painter to color the tulips and the sun. Yes, even the orange bits are Daffodil Delight – just with a heavier concentration of the Sprinkles. A clear block makes the perfect palette for this.
To continue with the desaturated look, I colored the rest of the image in Smoky Slate.

Here’s what I made:
I made this card all wrong. I started out doing one thing, then changed my mind. So I thought it would just be a trial run, then I would redo it properly. But then I kind of liked how it turned out. So to do it “correctly” I would use Stazon on ink instead of Memento, and Watercolor Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock instead of regular Whisper White Cardstock.
I found that using a very light touch with the Aqua Painter worked fine for the tulips on the Whisper White Cardstock. While I like the way this sun turned out, you could get a smoother look by using the two other types of paper.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Daffodil Delight card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Pumpkin Pie CS cut to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
- Whisper White CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- optional: Whisper White CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Winds of Change stamp set:
- large image in Memento black ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
- sentiment in Memento black ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
Colored using Pigment Sprinkles and an Aqua Painter:
- tulips in Daffodil Delight
- sun at top right corner in Daffodil Delight
Colored using a Blender Pen:
- windmill, stems, leaves, and ground in Smoky Slate
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Pumpkin Pie CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- stamped layer glued onto the Pumpkin Pie CS layer
- optional: Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
