Super Smooth Gel Blending

5 Steps to Cardmaking EXPERT!

In today's video, I'm sharing 5 steps for improving your skills to become a cardmaking expert. Sadly, they are not easy, quick steps, because it is not easy or quick to become an expert at anything. But if you put in the effort, they will work!

Today, I'm lucky enough to be able to share a sneak peek at some new Pink & Main products that will be available on Monday!

I created this card with the cornder of the new Rose Garden Layering stencil set - I started with the leaves layer and placed the stencil onto the panel before blending green ink through it and over the rest of the panel too.

I used the Pink & Main Ergonomic Blender Brush - it's big and so easy to use to get smooth coverage on large areas quickly!

I added some blue ink just at the bottom, and that gives this card a layered look.

Then I used the positioning notches cut right into all 3 of the stencils to align everything perfectly - such a clever idea! I used the Mini Ergonomic Blender Brush (available Monday) to blend purple and then pink ink through the top two layers.

When I had all 3 layers done, I added some detail with a yellow Copic marker for the roses and a white gel pen for the tiny purple flowers.

I heat embossed a sentiment from the Smile set, using WOW! Embossing ink and Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder.
