My most recent class was a technique class that focused on Blends, the Color Lifter and Blending Brushes. I love all the projects and really enjoyed working with my customers to try them all out.
The first one was taught to me by Elisabeth, a DDM from the home office, at our recent event in Edwardsville. She showed us how to use our Blends on velum to create a cool striped look. It pairs so well with the Online Exclusive Tropical Leaf bundle. I created a reel to show you how to make this one.

One of the products I wanted to focus on in this class was the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter. I found that most of my customers had not tried using it even though they use Stampin' Blends a lot. There are a number of ways to use them besides simply lightening colors on an image you have colored.
For this card we actually colored with Blends around the outline of the image, instead of the image itself, and used the Color Lifter to pull the color further away. It both lightened the color and made it bleed out and away from the image more.

The pink one I created to use as part of my weekly "this or that" against the purple we created in class. Interestingly the pink one won!
This card uses a number of techniques. The first thing we did was use a mask to add a design to our card stock base with a small Blending Brush.
The image is created by first inking the full stamp in Fresh Freesia and then applying some Gorgeous Grape with a small Blending Brush. I also added a little color to the edges of the punched sentiment piece with my Blending Brush. I created a Reel for this one as well.

The final card was created by using the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter to blend the watercolor pencils on the flowers. I loved adding the Brass Butterflies for some extra bling.
