Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

August 25, 2022

I can't get enough of the Perched in a Tree bundle! We made these cards at my August Card Clubs this month:

They had the choice of adding the bird or a set of die-cut, colored leaves. We added color to both with our Blending Brushes using Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue for the bird and Bermuda Bay & Mango Melody on the leaves.

The greetings are from the Soft Seedlings stamp set stamped on a 1" X 4 1/4" Vanilla CS strip.

If you have trouble getting a smooth Ink Blending background please watch the video to catch my tips.

From the top down I used these colors: Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody & either Balmy Blue or Crumb Cake on the bottom. You might think I used a yellow color on the upper right card but it's just very light Mango Melody.

The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

*Best buy: purchase the Perched in a Tree bundle in August and choose a $50 Sale-a-Bration choice for free! See them all here.

I did add the Multipurpose Liquid glue on this list even though it's not retiring. However the price is going up to $5.50 in the next catalog. It's on low inventory right now too!

I will not have a FB Live today; I have laryngitis so I cannot talk.

It's been a wake up call to see just how much I talk! ;)

Also note that some prices are going up. The cost of business is increasing world wide; as I'm sure you've noticed when shopping. Here's a chart showing some of the price changes in the upcoming new Annual Catalog.

Now on to the projects!

I shared these neat cards on last week's Live video. I love it when you can show off both sides of our pretty designer papers!

Save

This card uses almost half of a 12 X 12" piece of designer paper; but it truly makes the most of your printed paper.

I chose the Pretty Prints DSP from the Annual catalog. It includes 4 colors; Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Evening Evergreen and Blackberry Bliss. It's on the retiring list now and discounted to $8.40 instead of $12. See it here.

It's quite an easy fold to make. You make a few score lines and then trim off the top at an angle; then add that trimmed piece to the bottom edge. Watch the video to see how it's done.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- DSP 5 ¼” X 12” score at 2”, 4”, 8” & 10”. Mark at 2 3/8” and cut off to 4” mark
- White front square 2 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5"
- Front square layer 2 1/2"

I chose the Kind & Sincere stamp set for my greetings. I think the mixed font and wide range of phrases is fabulous. Unfortunately it is on the retiring list. It's now $15.60 instead of $26.
