It's technique time! You may have used your Stampin’ Blends to color line art images, but have you tried using them to create a colorful background layer?
Here’s how:
Step 1: Chose your 3 favorite and complimentary colors of Stampin’ Blends. You will be using the light and the dark marker of each color.
Step 2: Beginning with the darkest color overall, and using the brush end, swipe color across the middle of a card layer of Basic White. Begin with using the dark blend and then use the light blend of the same color on either side.
Step 3: Take the second set of Stampin’ Blends (a bit lighter in tone) and brush these two colors (dark first, then light) on either side of the existing colors.
Step 4: Take the final (third) set of Blends and add these two colors to the remaining white space, using dark and then light. This will complete the layer.
Step 5: Add the layer to a card base and complete the card using your favorite stamps and embellishments.
