Looking for different ways to add color to your cards without coloring stamped images? @LoveJessCo shares easy cardmaking techniques using ink blending, Distress Oxides, stencils, and layered sentiments to create beautiful handmade cards.

Many cardmakers love coloring as part of their creative process. Sometimes we do not have the supplies, time, or motivation to color images for our cards. In this video, Jess (@lovejessco) demonstrates creative cardmaking ideas that allow you to add bold, eye-catching color without using markers or colored pencils.

You will see how to use ink blending, Distress Oxide inks, stencils, and layered die cut sentiments to design colorful backgrounds for birthday cards, thank you cards, and everyday handmade cards. These techniques are perfect for beginners, busy crafters, or anyone looking for fresh cardmaking inspiration.
