Hi everyone this month the Group of Seven Crafters are having some fun with Ink Blending and Ink Lifting.
To make the cards we used Kristina Werner ink blending colour combinations with Distress Oxide inks, you can check them out in the links below.
And Jennifer McGuire describes how to lift ink using water (Faux Bleach technique)
Video: Easy Distress + Water Technique by Jennifer McQuire (28:03) - watch from 3:45 - 15:15 to see technique only.
I found the darker inks give a better lift when removing the colour, for this card I also added some background ink lifting with a text stamp.

TFS all 4 of your cards using ink blending on each card and water lifting on the cards..you are right..the water lifting is more noticeable with darker colors. TFS your cards and descriptions, Christine. Because of a crazy busy gardening and harvesting month I only had a chance to make one card, but know I will be using the technique again..Love and Hugs...
Wow, Christine, you get the prize for Most Inspiring with your four incredible designs! Such excellent examples of ink-blending! I love the look of your vertically blended backgrounds! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful. I am loving this technique. thanks for all the inspiration. I hope I get round to giving it a go. I think I say that every month! xx
I love all of the color mixes you've used on your pretty samples Christine! I think I like the stag card the best. You mixed up the colors of embossing powder you used on each as well - I just used black for some unknown reason???!!! Julia xx
Christine, these are all so different and each unique and beautiful. What a fun technique! thanks for the inspiration!!
I love all the colour blending combinations you've used, Christine. The first card is bold and beautiful and I love that you did some lifted text in the background as well a lifting colour from the blooms. Very creative! Your Christimas cards are all wonderful ... great way to build your stash. It won't be long before we will be mailing them out ---ouch! :) Love, Lolly
Wow! What a variety of backgrounds you got, Christine! Love the bright colors but the more subtle background gives a very different feel! It's amazing how the colors of embossing changes the whole feel of the cards too!
I always think of blending horizontally, but I like your vertical versions! These are all wonderful cards, Christine!
Four fabulous cards! Great colour choices on each! The flowers on the first one are beautiful. And I never would have thought of using that Tim Holtz snowman stamp with the waterlifting technique but it looks great done that way.
Love this!❤️ Stunning and amazing cards Christine x
Wow, you got busy with this mix of technique Christine, and all really beautiful. I love that two have stronger coloured backgrounds and then two are much softer, and using terrific images on each...brilliant results. x
All four look beautiful and the blended colors are lovely. I love the second card, it is so ethereal. All your cards came out fantastic.
Gorgeous! I love color and all methods of ink lifting and you have some beautiful samples here. I'm especially fond of the ghostly effect of lifting with a stamp, such as your text, and now I'm all inspired to try the paintbrush technique. Love the color blends you've chosen, too.
All awesome inspirations. Fabulous blending. Love how beautiful the white embossed images pop on the first card.
All four cards are stunning, Christine! I love the wonderful variety of the cards, especially the vertical ink-blended cards! The heat-embossed images and the ink color combos are so beautiful too.
