Hi stampers, it is time for another Totally Techniques Blog and this month we are focusing on playing with the Stampin’ Blends. I am excited to let you all know that we have a new team member that is playing along with us, I am sure you are going to love Annettes gorgeous creations.
I’m loving playing with the Stampin’ Blends, to be honest, I could happily colour with them all day. I guess I feel similar to a kid that has been let loose in a candy store lol.
I started by colouring over the entire bird image using the lightest colour first (light Pool Party) and then added some of the dark Pool Party around the edges to create a little shading. I then went over the two colours with the lightest colour to blend them. It needed a little more colour so I highlighted some of the area using light Daffodil Delight and then added a little Wink of Stella to bring the cute little bird to life.
