To create the background of this card, I used Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes and three ink colors, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Gorgeous Grape. And then stamping the image in black ink gives the card a silhouette look so the blended colors in the background really stand out. Below is a list of the products…

Sponge Dauber
Love is in the air when you are using the Love & Happiness Bundle. To soften the brightness of the card, I used a sponge dauber and white ink. I decided not to add white ink to the heart in the center so the heart would stand out a little more. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals…
