February Technique Class Cards

 Our technique for February was called SU Blending Brushes and it was a great technique to explore and use.  Blending Brushes have been around for a few years from other companies but Stampin' Up! just started carrying them in the January-June Mini Catalog. We found out that while other companies had blending brushes that were fine, the Stampin' Up! ones had some great features.

We were able to create a soft blend of color when using the new Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes.  Using a circular motion to ink up the brush and starting on a piece of scratch paper and working that into our cardstock was all that we needed to achieve great results. There was no swirls, or uneven color. Clean up was fantastic!!  All you need is just plain water.  I cleaned the brushes the next day by just running them under running water, they cleaned up great!!

Here are the cards:

Card #1 - Birthday Wishes - Isn't this beautiful?!!
