CARD IDEA
Recently I shared a video featuring Angled Ink Blending. I used the same technique to create a colorful background for this card. The colors of ink used for blending are Lemon Zing, Doll Pink, Magnolia, Deep Purple to create the sky; Sunshine to create the sun; Jellybean to create the grass.
The house image was colored almost white by using just W1 to add shading, W1, and W3 to add color and texture to the roof, and B000 to add blue to the windows. The shrubs were colored with YG01 and YG03; Y15 and RV00 were used to color the flowers.
MORE INSPIRATION
I have more cardmaking inspiration for you featuring products from the new release! Check out my Hello Spring card using the new Spring Birds stamp and dies set:
And coming to my blog and Youtube channel tomorrow – two cards featuring the Blooming Meadow stamps and dies, Slimline Beautiful You, and Welcoming stamps and dies.

I really love how you designed with the bird stamps. Such a stunning card!
The “You Are Welcome Anytime” card was very pretty. Glad to see that I’m not the only one that has to start over at times. The finished product was amazing and noticed the roof “texture” right away and wondered how you had done that. Thank you.
Gorgeous cards Yana!!! Thanks for showing us how to fix a mistake!!
Your cards are beautiful!
I love the spring birds and the house . Nice color choice!
I like the blue windows. I always struggle with which color I should use for windows. I usually use yellow or gold, like a glowing light. But I love the blue.
Yana, I love the angled ink blending method — you are so creative with your unique techniques! I haven’t tried this one yet, but I am looking forward to it — I love it with the bird stamps from your last post — I didn’t leave a comment on that one, but I love that look!
