VIDEO | Taylored Expressions | Friendship Cards feat. NEW Black & White Blender Brushes and Stencils

I’m so excited to share Taylored Expressions‘ new blender brushes and stencils with you! I’m highlighting the Black & White Blender Brushes in today’s post, along with some of the new stencils from the latest release. I was super excited to see a white blender brushes in particular because I’ve been wanting a brush just for white pigment ink. I really hope that a clear brush for watermark ink isn’t too far behind. 😉

On my first card, I used eight shades of Liquid Watercolor – from top to bottom: Jelly Donut, Plum Punch, Candy Corn, Peaches ‘n Cream, Blue Raspberry, Blue Corn, Peapod and Oreo – to create a very quick and easy sunset background. I used my heat tool to dry the layers as I moved down the panel. When the panel was completed and dried, I die cut it with the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets.

I used the Black Blender Brush with the Delightful Daisy Stencil and ink blended a frame of daisies in two corners of the watercolored panel using Earl Grey, Poppy Seed and Oreo inks.

I die cut the large letters from Cap It Off Alpha, from both Oreo Cardstock and Silver Glitter Cardstock, stacking the layers with liquid glue. I heat embossed the sentiment from Just Saying and die cut it using the Building Blocks Die. After assembling the layers, I added onyx pearls to the centres of the daisies.

On my second card, I used the Black Blender Brush with the Dahlia Stencil and randomly ink blended three dahlias in each of the three inks – Sea Salt, Poppy Seed and Oreo. It creates so much layering and depth for a really full and beautiful background.

I die cut the word using the coordinating On the Block – Love Shadow, die cutting it a second time from Oreo Cardstock. I also heat embossed a sentiment from Building Blocks – Love Additions and popped up both elements with foam tape.

For my third and final card, I used the White Blender Brush with the Roundabout Stencil and Sugar Cube Ink on Oreo Cardstock. I applied sparkle embossing powder and set it with my heat tool. I applied the same process with the sketched lines stamp from Social Butterflies and sentiment from Diamond Botanical.

I stamped the butterflies with Poppy Seed and rock ‘n rolled the filler stamps with Granny Smith and Blue Raspberry. To finish, I scored the wings and applied foam tape under the wings to add dimension. I attached the panel to a Blue Raspberry card base and added some gems to embellish the card.
