Beautiful Motifs Thinking of You Spotlight Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Beautiful Motifs stamp set & die bundle and the Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder provides the textured background layer.


Techniques include coloring with Blending Brushes.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Bringing your plant die cuts to life with color is a breeze with the Blending Brushes.  Start by die cutting your plant out of Basic White or a light neutral cardstock.  Ink your Blending Brush by brushing it onto your ink pad.  With your die cut piece laying on a piece of grid paper, lightly brush color onto your die cut.  Use a new blending brush, or the other side of the same brush for the second color.  Typically, it is recommended to use small circular motions when applying color, however, with the delicacy of the die cut used on this card, I found it easier to use small straight strokes to apply the color.  When finished with the Blending Brush, run under warm water to remove excess color from the brush, allow to dry, and it is ready for use the next time.

Blending Brushes come in a set of three and are available in two sizes.  The smaller size works better for precision coloring.
