Blended Image

This image is non SU, it has been coloured with blendabilities and all the other materials used  are Stampin' Up products; cardstock, DSP, embossing folder and frosted sequins. I'm really enjoying colouring and blending, it does take a bit of practice and I have watched a variety of videos to help me improve my technique. Before the blendabilities were introduced into our range of products I hadn't thought much about colouring images, however once I started it was hard to put the new alcohol markers down!

Joyful Christmas Wishes

I Just love this "Joyful Christmas" stamp set from last year, absolutely perfect to colour with our blendabilities. The Poinsettia makes such an impact especially when fussy cut and layered and one had to add some mandatory bling in the centre of the flower.

Cased Blended Bloom

This card was cased from the super talented Nikki Spencer Here I have changed it up a bit as I didn't have all the same products available. I love how this card has turned out. The leaves are from the French Foliage stamp set, I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured them with the Old Olive Blendabilities and I was very pleased with the result.

Regarding Dahlias 1

More fun with my Blendabilities, this time I used the Wisteria Wonder assortment with the Regarding Dahlias stamp set, Memento ink, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White card stock.

Blended Bloom 3 D

I have been spending a bit of time using my blendabilities, I have found this colouring is very enjoyable and satisfying, it does take a bit of practise and everyone finds the way that best suits them. This card has a 3D effect by stamping the mat with blended bloom and colouring and then stamping further flowers, fussy cutting and popping up on dimensionals over the base mat. I have also cut out centres for the red flowers and popped them up with dimensionals, although that is hard to see in the photo.

Cardstock: Hello Honey, Whisper White

Ink: Memento

Blendabilities: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight

Stamp: Blended Bloom, Itty Bitty Banners

Fathers day card

The first of many Fathers day cards I have been requested to make. Coloured using the blendabilities, such a great finish to our colouring when using the blendies, no harsh strokes showing up. I sponged the background and matted the stamped image on whisper white, lost lagoon and black cardstock, the base card was also lost lagoon. The stamp is from the Countryside stamp set.

Heart and Stars Decorative Masks

How easy was this! Gift bags/wrapping paper brown paper bags decorated using the Hearts and Stars decorative masks. Non SU ribbon used, however I used my fabulous blendies to colour the Coastal Cabana ribbon, so love my blendies.

Blended Bloom

 I have made a blended bloom card using some of my new products that arrived earlier this week. I'm not sure I like the colours I've used but they are growing on me. I tried using the skin tone assortment of the blendabilities on the blended bloom flower which ended up darker than I wanted so I used the colour lifter to lighten it up. The base card is in natural white cardstock with an early espresso mat and another mat in natural white, which I sponged with early espresso and sahara sand inks using the Hearts and Stars decorative mask. I cut out the blended bloom and used dimensionals to mount it on top of a wood grain embossed piece of brushed gold card and natural chevron ribbon. The centre of the bloom is coloured with Old Olive blendies with a few pearls thrown in.
