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.

I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

Save

I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?

I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.
