Such a gorgeous effect – why ink a pretty stamp in only one color when you can easily blend several colors with beautiful results?? This direct-to-stamp technique uses Blending Brushes to combine colors on the image before stamping. Add shading on leaves and flowers, then stamp for an ombre effect. The new Inspiring Snapdragons stamp and die bundle is even prettier with combined colors.

Choose from subtles or brights, either way the Blending Brushes mix the colors gently to create a soft transition between shades.

The Inspiring Snapdragon Dies allow for perfect cutting on these blooms. And greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack are easy to mix and match for any occasion.

Consider stamping once on your project, then again without reinking for a softer look inside the card.

And of course the perfect accents come in the form of coordinating Adhesive Backed Dots (Dots for Days for the win).
