I've been practicing with my Blending Brushes, and decided to try a very simple card:
I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock and placed two strips of Post-It Labeling Tape vertically about 1-1/2" apart, sticking them down well (this tape sticks securely but removes easily and cleanly). Then I got busy with my Blending Brushes.
Starting at the bottom, I added some Sahara Sand ink. Now when you use the Blending Brushes it's important to pick up the ink and then start making a small circular motion on a piece of scrap paper, then move the brush onto your cardstock. This prevents a "blob" of ink and gives you a smooth color that is easy to blend. I switched it up to a little bit of Daffodil Delight before blending into Bermuda Bay. And I finished with a little Balmy Blue. But it's hard to see the transition - and that's the beauty of the Blending Brushes!
Once I was happy with my colors I carefully peeled away my Post-It Tape, leaving a nice clean line between the white and colored portions of the page.
It was easy to add a little "sand" and the palm trees from Timeless Tropical, and then a greeting.
Using the Blending Brushes made a very simple card look difficult! Give them a try!
