The current challenge at Addicted to CAS is ombre and this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp Flickr is blending - so I combined them for my card today. I am also entering my card in LaVon's LOVE challenge where the theme is "anything goes".
I first blended seedless preserves, picked raspberry and worn lipstick distress inks using my blending brushes. Then I laid the SSS peony bouquet stencil over the blended piece and added more of the same colors. Cut the piece to 4"x5.25" and spritzed with some shimmer spritz. The card base is peony from Hero Arts - love it. Added the little sentiment and some sequins and done. I think this design would make a pretty set of cards when done in a variety of blended backgrounds.
Thanks for visiting today and love to read your kind comments.
Totally beautiful card, Betty! Think I'm going to add that pink cardstock to my HA order. Thanks for the inspiration!
