Doily Stencil

 Another fun and easy background technique is created by using a doily, this one is done with the Square Vellum Doilies, page 153 from the current catalog (see below), the Blending Brushes and Magenta Madness Stampin' Ink.  Since the doily isn't large enough to cover the full length of the card, I colored the top section first and then moved the doily to the bottom and repeated the process.  Quick and easy!!  Just add the rest of the embellishments and a greeting and you are done!!

Blending Brushes Technique

 

Have you seen the new Blender Brushes but not sure how to use them? 

I created an easy background with three colors - Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape and Costal Cabana. Then added a few layers with embossed dragonflies and some rhinestones and ribbon.

The possibilities with these brushes is unlimited. 

Check out my video to see how I made this easy background.
