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.
You can also find additional inspiration in the Simon Says Stamp gallery.

Love your creations, Yana! The slimline bird card is simply beautiful.

Beautiful cards as always! You’re such an inspiration, thank you for sharing.
Fantastic cards. Great release. Thank you for all the great tips.
Yana, your card creations are stunning! The sky in the house card is beautiful and the bird card is my favorite.
This is such a great technique. I love it in every example.
Thank you so much for the inspiration. Especially the Welcome Spring card showing another way to use my favourite set in the collection!
Fantastic as always!! Thanks for sharing!
I would have used a little more color on the house…like painted the shutters. It looks a bit drab against that beautiful background.
This is so nice. TFS
Magnifique série de cartes, j’adore les oiseaux et les fleurs.
Très belle coloration.

I love your cards Yana. I haven’t made new home cards yet, but your cards have got me thinking how much I should start doing these kinds of cards. Thank you! ❤️
Love these backgrounds, Yana, so fun! Both cards are gorgeous!
