I have used the background mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks (#158142) using Blending Brushes (#153611) to achieve the “rainbow” effect. I think these are one of my favourite products from the mini catalogue, but I will probably say that about a lot of the products!! So many great ones.
The inks I used with the mask are Mint Macaron (#147106), So Saffron (#147109), Pool Party (#147107), Fresh Freesia (#155611) and Misty Moonlight (#153118). The Denim Ribbon (#149590) was wrapped around the card front, then the card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).
The bird and flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration product. The bird was coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894), the flowers with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) for the flower centres and the branch with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882). I cut this with a die from the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). I attached the circle to the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
The sentiment, also from the Friendly Hello stamp set, was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), then cut with a Sweet Hearts Die (#157623). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach this to the card. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) was my choice of embellishments.
TIP: When using Blending Brushes you can achieve various depths of colours depending on how dark or light the ink is, and also how hard you press when using the brushes. I find it best to start light and slowly add extra colour till you get the desired results. Also after inking the brush, wipe some excess off onto a piece of scrap paper so you don’t have an unwanted dark area which can’t be fixed.
