Hi Friends,
I had some fun playing with Blending Brushes today!
I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock cut to 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". I stamped four trees, 2 Balmy Blue and 2 Just Jade, staggering the height of each. I love these stamps - they look like a 2 step stamp but they're not! The images you see here are a single stamp. There is another layer that can be added, but I like them this way. I think they look like Blue Spruce evergreens!
Next I used a Post-It note and a 1" punch to make a mask for the moon. With that in place, I used a Blending Brush with my Balmy Blue ink pad to brush color onto the sky. When I removed the mask I thought the white moon was too bright, so I brushed a little more color over it.
The third step was to cut the image out using the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies, then emboss it with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue and cut it with one of the Painted Labels Dies. I really like this embossing folder - it gives the look of a painting on canvas.
Finally, I mounted the stamped panel on a piece of Basic White and added it to a Balmy Blue card base. The sentiment is mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals; and, of course, can't forget the bling!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today :)
Beautiful card! I love using the blending brushes.
