Blending Brushes - My New Best Friends

If you haven't tried our new Blending Brushes ... well, you just really must try them. 

I used to try so hard to get a good, smooth background using one of our sponges and I had minimal success.  I felt like I might have been sponging impaired:)  These new brushes are amazing!

Here's one of the cards we'll be making at my next class.  We'll use a die to create a mask, create a beautiful blended background and then add some magical finishing touches.

About my card:

I cut down the front of one of our Hand-Penned Memories and More (Cards and Envelopes) to use for the top layer of my card.  I used the part I trimmed off for the inside of my card.  I used the back of the card to cut the oval die cut piece.  Therefore, no waste at all and a totally different look for the card.  Love it!  The photo doesn't really do it justice because, as you probably know by now, Wink of Stella and/or Shimmer Mist do not show up in photographs.  I used the negative piece from the oval die cut to mask off all but the  actual oval and then spritzed it with my Champaign Shimmer Mist.  I love this and will never quit using it.  We don't carry it any more but you can get it on Amazon.  It's just too pretty to give up using it.
