Over the past week or so I’ve brought you projects using a limited range of colours. Today’s card project is another of these. This time I’ve taken my inspiration from the Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.

I loved these and regularly used them to create backgrounds (although I know many people found them difficult to use). For some reason I’ve never tried to create a similar effect using Blending Brushes. But with the new Growth Takes Time Stamp Set I ... VIEW POST
