Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate. Today I am bringing you the tutorial for the card I made for the Ink Stamp Share Special Blog Hop. I have been practicing colouring with blends recently so decided to use blends on the Gnome For The Holidays set. I was really pleased with how this turned out. Such a cute set. I have used the stitched rectangles to frame the scene so cut the card base down so it fits nicely. These dies are sized for the US card stock size which is different to UK size. I do not always trim my bases down but with this card I thought it was worth doing. Measurements and Materials Card base Shaded Spruce 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" Score @ 8 1/8" A stitched frame was cut from Real Red card stock using The largest 2 stitched rectangles Images were stamped on Thick Whisper White and coloured using the Stampin' Blends The background was created by brushing on ink using blending brushes Sky is Balmy Blue Grass Mossy Meadow This was then cut out using the second largest stitched rectangles Mat for the inside was cut using the largest stitched rectangle and Whisper White card stock Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-) Video Tutorial Click below to see the video tutorial :-) Time for the closeups!
