I'm telling you these Blending Brushes are fantastic! I used the Seaside Seashell Die on Basic White cardstock, then simply brushed Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and So Saffron inks on it. The Happy Birthday die is retired, but any of the new sentiment dies would be lovely as well.
I am very pleased with how this card turned out! It's a great one to show how beautifully our new Blending Brushes can be used. I've found that less ink and more than one application make a difference in how smooth the blending looks. I'm getting better results each time I use them.
On the inside of the card I used Pear Pizzazz and Balmy Blue with the blending brushes to create the background. Sticky notes prevent the ink from going anywhere you don't want it to go. I left the center white so that it appeared as kind of the light source. Then I stamped a greeting where it would be hidden behind the plant when the card was closed.
I stamped the pot and plants, diecut then glued them behind the plant hanger diecut. A dot of glue suspends the hanging plant from the 'frame' topped off with an In Color Jewel. I used a Stitched Rectangle die to cut an opening on the front which gives a frame to the card.
