Hello Friend ink blending background

Have you seen the trend in blending inks to create beauitful backgrounds or elements for your cards? Today's card features this technique. I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut to  4.25" x 5.5". I used 3 colors of ink in the blue green to green family. This means that all three inks would be found together on a color wheel. I started with the lightest color (Soft Sea Foam) and blended it into a medium green (Granny Apple Green) and blended into a blue green (Coastal Cabana). Then I die cut the piece with one of the Stitched so Sweetly dies and added my message or greeting stamp.

Here is a close up of the beautiful embossing powder I used! I am in LOVE with this black and glitter  embosses greeting!! Insider tip- this embossing powered doesn't work so well on fine line images. Go BOLD, pick something that is solid either an image or greeting.
