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.

Fault Line technique with Layered Thoughts – video & free project sheet too

August 5, 2025

I shared this neat technique on last week’s Live video. It’s called the ‘Fault Line’ technique.

Save

The Fault Line technique is where you layer torn papers together. Here I used the Full of Life designer paper with Bubble Bath and Berry Burst. The greeting is stamped on another sheet of this designer paper and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I fussy cut it and popped it up between the fault lines.

Save

As you can see in the photo above I did my greetings two says. The top right is done by heat embossing the greeting with White embossing powder. The lower left is with clear embossing powder.

Here’s the free project sheet if you’d like to print if off or download it. Download Layered Thoughts Fault Line card

Watch the video below to see how this is done. It’s so easy!
