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.

Unique Frosted Forest bundle shown multiple ways! Free project sheet & video too

September 30, 2024

On last week's Live video I shared multiple ways to use the Frosted Forest bundle. Here are two of the cards I made.

Save

I used Granny Apple Green & Shaded Spruce here. I stamped the outline of the trees in Shaded Spruce and then added color by using the coordinating stencils with ink and blending brushes. (Pecan Pie ink is used on the tree trunk).

Here is an example of the dies with a few coordinating stamps & stencils.

I hope you watch the video here or below to see the many ways to create with it. I share a unique way to add extra detail to the large tree. It gives an easy 'leafy' texture.

Save

A layered banner greeting across the bottom finished it off nicely. The birds are also included in the bundle. I used Pecan Pie to stamp them and then a blender pen to spread the ink a bit.

Here's the free project sheet for these two cards; click on the following link to download or print it: Download Frosted Forest 2 trees cards

I think the combination of these two colors for these pine trees works wonderfully.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more! Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

Most of these are swaps I received; only the two on the right lower edge are mine. I love swapping – especially to get samples of products I didn't buy and to show styles that are different from mine.
