Blended Simple Card

Photo Details

Poster: SanJoseLady

Saw this technique in the Craft Stamper Ezine, had to try it and LOVE the result, very easy to do and looks great.

I used Memento Ink, Dandelion, Cantaloupe and Tangelo.

love this! Is the center portion taped off and then sponged with ink? Looks beautiful!

@Krissylizzy, I actually used long postits to make a rectangle, then sponged all of the color with make up sponges, I inked the lightest color on the entire rectangle, then the next darkest, then the darkest, then went over to blend (lighter color over the darker color). Was actually very quick.

Beautiful one-layer card! Thanks for explaining how you did the sponging. I like the way your image goes beyond the sponged area.

A fabulous CAS card with great shading! I love the simple stamp over the blended background - all perfectly proportioned! Thanks for giving details.
