Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

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.

• CUTE Butterfly Kisses Card Kit to go or Tutorial

  August 3, 2022

  ---

  I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses designer paper for one of my August card kits to go.  It's so colorful & bright!  

  Save

  I created 2 each of 5 different cards; a few are special fun fold designs.  I find it quite enjoyable to create when I gather products that 'work' together so easily.  I let the colors in the DSP guide me and added Starry Sky ribbon & Fun Flowers resin shapes for accents.  

  If you like these cards you have a few options; get the pre-cut kit to go with the PDF tutorial or just the PDF tutorial only.  

  The pre-cut kit includes the following: 

  • All pre-cut pieces including punched or die-cuts
  • 1/2 pkg of 6 X 6" Butterfly Kisses DSP (you'll cut using the directions)
  • a share of Starry Sky Metallic Woven ribbon
  • a share of Fun Flowers Resin Shapes
  • The free PDF tutorial – photos, step by step directions, measurements & a supplies list

  Choose the pre-cut kit here or the PDF tutorial here.
