Creating These Cards
To create one of these cards is simple. First, use a basic shape die to cut from a piece of cardstock. This will serve as a mask to do some blending. Use a blending brush to apply color with the mask to a white card base. Next choose a stamp, and use black or dark gray ink to stamp over top of the masked area. That’s it!

Card Samples
Let’s take a look at these cards!
For these two cards, I blended inside of the die cut, then added some beautiful floral stamps from the Fragrant Layers stamp set.

The next two cards are slightly different. For the card on the left, I used the solid floral stamp instead of the outline stamp. For the card on the right, I blended outside of the die cut instead of inside. It gives a slightly different look.

The cards above are extremely simple, with no layers, but I created the last card shown below with a few layers to show a bit more detail.

This is so simple! You’ll have to try this technique soon!
