I have been playing with my blending brushes, I think I may be slightly addicted. I love that each card, even if you use the same colours comes out slightly different, perfect for making cards with similar items but with different appearance.
Using stencils is a super easy way of creating blended cards quickly and easily. This card is a step up from my previous examples of ink blended backgrounds, but only adds one extra crafty item. I have been playing with the Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. I then used copper embossing powder. Originally I tried to use clear embossing powder, but it didn’t work (you couldn’t see the sentiment.) The picture below shows the combination, it is becoming one of my favourites.

The video below shows how I made the card, all my examples use the same colours but the colours are added different ways (in circular motions, stripes, random colour placing etc.)
I love these cards, I may need to create more cards using different colours. What is your favourite colour combination?
