#18 Card Making for Beginners - Using Masks and Blending Brushes

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Thanks so much for popping in to see me. Today I am back with another instalment in my occasional Card Making for Beginners series. My card today showcases a simple technique to make lovely backgrounds using masks and blending brushes.

I have finished off my card very simply. I added two butterfly die cuts, from the Brilliant Wings die set,  to my background, in the same colour as the background. I think this showcases really well how Stampin' Up! colours coordinate - the inked background is exactly the same colour as the die cut butterflies!

And then I just added a sentiment stamped in the same colour.
