using blending brushes to create the background
Creating your own backgrounds on cards can be so much fun and they are never the same!
This card features Changing Leaves – one of the new Online Exclusive bundles and this one is amazing with a hybrid embossing folder and beautifully intricate leaves and sentiments!
Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap Basic White for the die cut leaves
Using Blending Brushes, pull the head of the Blending brush through the ink pad and in a circular motion run the blending brush down the left side of the card base creating a column of color. I used the inks in the order I listed them. This first column is Garden Green.
Continue adding color columns the entire way across the card base.
To make this card more advanced you could also take a flick speckles of color over the columns to add some depth and dimension – I chose to leave mine plain.
Adhere the leaves over each color column.
Pop up the sentiment piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add over the die cut leaves.
Try this technique with any of the stamp pads you have and see what color combinations you can come up with!
Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
