All you need to make a unique card is ink and torn paper—and a little cardstock! That’s right, if you’re a beginner and don’t have many supplies, or if you don’t have a lot of time, or you simply love easy techniques that aren’t too messy, then you’re going to love making this card!
The ‘Spotlight on Nature’ stamp set was beckoning some attention from the corner of my craft room, and I decided it was perfect for today’s Mystery Monday Stamping card. The simplicity of this card is its charm, and the bright ink and torn paper are ways to build interest and texture step by step.
Grab some large Post-it Notes or printer paper, sponges or blending brushes, ink pads, and a stamp set, and let’s get started!

Did you know that ink and torn paper could be the backbone to creating such a fun card? Will you tear your paper in a ‘wave’ pattern a ‘zig-zag’ pattern or jagged edges?
ClueS For Ink And Torn Paper Card
The first clue to making this ink-and-torn paper card is to gather the supplies. Clue number 2: tear the large Post-It note or printer paper so it is very jagged. Tear both sides of the paper and lay it on the white cardstock, securing the paper (washi tape works great) if you aren’t using Post-It notes.
Clue number 3: use a sponge or blending brush and apply the ink to the white cardstock. You get such a crisp look this way!
Clue number 4: Stamp an image in black ink on top of the colored panel you laid down. Next, adhere the cardstock layer to the card base.
In the card I demonstrated, I used a greeting from the ‘Spotlight on Nature’ stamp set. I stamped in black ink on white cardstock, then used the circular dies from the set to cut out a larger circle layer using Granny Apply Green cardstock.
