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.

Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

December 21, 2020
Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space? Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point? Every piece of this card was a scrap!

Save

The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it. So it sat in a pile for weeks.

The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink. The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too. You can see them here. They're 50% off right now; while supplies last. They are perfect for shaker cards too.

The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too! Easy peasy!

I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th. I'm so sad it's going away! If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone. Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17!

Measurements:
- Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White 3" X 3 5/8"
- Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
- Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces
Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
