One of the new products that was revealed in the Jan. - June Mini Catalog was a set of 3 Blending Brushes. Wow, they are amazing!
I'm so glad I purchased a set. I had ordered some from Amazon a while back before I knew Stampin' Up! was coming out with them, but like usual, Stampin' Up!s quality far surpasses the competition! The handle is more substantial, easy to grip, and the bristles are soft as a baby's bottom! Stampin' Up! classic ink washes out with water and you can dry the brush on a clean washcloth rag. You do need time to let it dry, but it doesn't take long if you don't drown the brush in water.
The two cards I'm sharing today both have the blending brushes used on them.
Again I was inspired by Caroline's Creative Designs cut of the angle Designer Series Paper, but the rest of the card design and layout is mine.
The card below could be considered for an Advanced Beginner or Casual Cardmaker.

New Set of 3 Blending Brushes
They feel so good in your hand. The bristles are super soft. Just work the brush in a circular motion on both the ink pad and paper for amazing results. Easy to clean too, just a little water and an old washcloth will remove the majority of the ink. Let dry before using again.
