I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!

Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me! I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap.
I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together?
After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink. We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now. For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.
Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks. It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad. *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process!
Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!
When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first. If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it. Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!
Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too
I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up! I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband. He's a fabulous traveling partner!
Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.
"Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination! It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.
What do you think? I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with. But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!
I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.
My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".
I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies. The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch! See it here.
I absolutely love the colors! I chose Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, white and the new Azure Afternoon. I think the blue washed layer from the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper shows off the white & yellow daisies perfectly.
I sponged extra yellow on the Lemon Lolly daisy centers before adding the White die-cut over them. Here's a photo of the dies display I made: I did not add the separate individual daisies that fir over the large yellow die-cut below. On my card they're white.
