I am loving the blending tool and I thought it would be a great technique to make a special birthday card for a friend. I wanted it to be festive and modern, arty and different. And if that's the brief, I love the result here.
I used two distress inks for the background and added a splatter of green ink, then quickly blotted it off to get a nice watermark on the card.
I stamped the greeting and used black embossing powder to get texture. It speckled a bit but I don't actually mind with this card since the background is blotted anyway. The crimped paper is from an embellishment set Claire gave me and I thought that it was the perfect festive touch for the card. The blingy 30 is from a sticker set Claire bought me as well.
I love the combined techniques here and think this is one badass birthday card. Will definitely do again for special friends!
This is SO pretty Jessie… the rosette looks awesome with the different colours… and I love the background…. it's a really stunning card! :-)
