I had the BIRDS AND BRANCHES STAMP SET and DIES on my list of products to use this week.
At the beginning of each week I write a list of all the products and projects I want to use and create. It also has all my other Stamin’ Time tasks I want to achieve.
As I looked at the dies, I imagined how I could make a mask and use the new BLENDING BRUSHES to create a sunset image.
The die is reasonably intricate but I was able to achieve the crisp edges of the colouring by using some masking sheets (not a Stampin’ Up!® product, unfortunately).
I used Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.
The branch was cut from a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was popped up onto a piece of FOAM ADHESIVE SHEET. Then I used some of my STAMPIN’ BLENDS to colour it – Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede. The four circles then had some SHIMMERY CRYSTAL EFFECTS added.
The sentiment is from the BLOOM AND GROW STAMP SET.
The Whisper White card insert was die cut, as was a piece of Pumpkin Pie card for the front of the envelope.
I’m looking forward to use the BLENDING BRUSHES more and developing my techniques when blending.
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
These are the products I used to make this card – the new BLENDING BRUSHES are not available until the January to June Mini Catalogue goes live to customers. They come in pack of three for $21, before postage.
If you live in Australia, I would be happy to help you place an order for any of them through me.
