From one simple layout I have made three quite different cards using the beautiful Colours & Contours bundle. I admit that at first this bundle underwhelmed me. I couldn't see what I'd make with it and so I flicked over it in the catalogue and didn't think any more of it. That was until I saw a beautiful card with a clever technique trick that blew me away and I just had to try both!
My video tutorial over on Facebook which I filmed live on Saturday shows you exactly how to make all of these cards. Click here to view that video. If you'd like a quicker version, check out the YouTube video I made. It's further down this post.
Do you have a favourite of these three cards? I really rather like this one below with the blue tones.
Big thanks to Jamie Babarczy whose card was my original inspiration and for coming up with that neat blending brush that looks like watercolouring trick (at least, that's where I first saw it!)
If you'd like to buy this bundle and make up cards like these and others (let's face it, I love the set so much, I'll be making lots more with them!), you can purchase it in my online store here. Don't forget to make your order up to $90 if you are shopping before the end of September so that you can add a free Sale-A-Bration item into your basket.
Finally, I'm playing along with Just Add Ink again this week with their "Just Add N" challenge. This was a tough one but you can be as creative as you like so I'm going with "Just add a New Technique"!
Thanks so much for checking in this week, I look forward to sharing more cards with you in the coming days. Until then, happy crafting!
