Hello Crafty Friends and happy Tuesday! Today I'm sharing a messy blending technique that is easy and effective as a background!

Why messy blending? Because it lets you be creative and being messy is fun! It also takes away some of the blending 'rules'. So come with me my rebel friends and let's get messy!

For this card I've used Starry Sky - a new In Colours from Stampin' Up! In my Video Tutorial further down in this post, I used 2 colours! All meaurements and card details are given during my video.

BLENDING BRUSHES #153611

Prior to Stampin' Up! offering Blending Brushes, I had purchased some brushes from Amazon, and truthfully, they were okay, but the Stampin' Up! brushes are far superior! I wouldn't say that unless I stood behind the product 100%!

VIDEO TUTORIAL

Click on the image below to view my YouTube video! I enjoyed making the video and telling you all about my mistakes I made on my first few attempts. It's an easy technique, but I messed up....find out how....

The images from Nature's prints heat emboss so easily! I used white embossing powder, which against the blue of the Starry Sky ink pops!

I never get tired of this blending technique! You get an amazing background that's one of a kind and it is such a huge WOW factor! I hope you'll give it a try!
