Technique Tuesday - Blending Brushes Ink Technique

 

Welcome to For The Love of Stamping and the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. Our theme is "Ink Techniques" and my go to are Blending Brushes.

I love using the Stampin' Up!®  Blending Brushes. Not only are they super soft but they make blending ink a breeze. If you don't have some YOU NEED to get them!

Last night as I was falling asleep this design popped into my mind and I knew that I wanted to make this card for this hop today. 

The card base is Basic Black with a layer of Basic White (4-1/8" x 5-3/8").

I started with Basic White cardstock (4" c 5-1/4") and chose shades of purple and a navy as my color pallet. The base color is Fresh Freesia followed with Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and finally Night of Navy. 

Once the color dried I added the die cuts from the Artistic dies (I can't seem to put these down!). I die cut from Black Glimmer paper which is returning in the Autumn/Winter mini catalog - SO EXCITED about this!.

I stamped the sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Craft White on Basic Black cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. I fussy cut the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.  I love how it pops off the card.  I added some black sewing thread behind the greeting and colored some rhinestone in with a Black Stampin' Blends. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope I have inspired you to use the blending brushes to create amazing backgrounds. Be sure to continue your blog hop journey to see other fabulous creations with ink!  

Happy stamping!

Hugs,
