I have been practicing a lot lately with stencils and blending brushes. I love the gradient looks you can get. I tried what I call double layer blending. It was perfect for this Valentine card!

For this card, I first lightly blended Merry Merlot, Rococo Rose and Blushing Bride onto a white panel. Next, I laid my Taylored Expressions Mini Slim Cable Knit stencil over and added more of the same colors. The panel was then cut with a mini slim stitched rectangle die. The hearts are from Stampin’ Up!’s Stitched Be Mine dies. I hand wrote the word “love” with a black pen and added a few rhinestones for a bit of bling.

Have you tried double layer blending with stencils? I’ve got a few more ideas in the works with this. Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

Hello friends! I had a chance to visit the Taylored Expressions store in November. It was such a fun visit and included a super cute make&take project! I was introduced to (and completely hooked on) Mini Slim cards. These cards are 3.5″x6″. I have been having a lot of fun creating in this size.

I decided to play along with Taylored Expressions #TEmakerchallenge for January.

I love the Rio color pallet: Strawberry Milkshake, Lollipop, Confetti Cake, and Blue Raspberry. I used it with the Zig Zag Mini Slim Stencil.

My “something that begins with A” is and anemone flower from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence set. I created the flower center by distressing some Lollipop card stock and gluing the paper fluff to the flower center. I finished off the card with a Simple Strip sentiment and some clear drip drops.

A cheerful card to send to a friend. Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
