Bumbleberry Blog — altenew ink blending tool

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Colour can evoke different emotions and I took the Altenew In The Mood For Colouring class where we looked at 6 different colours and how they can radiate a different feeling or emotion.

One colour I love create with evokes calm and tranquil emotions, so I paired it with a single rose and used tranquil blue hues to create a...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team.  When I finished this card, I wasn't quite sure what to call the technique.

Paired with ink blending and white space you have two modern whimsy cards!  Written and photos...

The trick to the soft blending - the new Altenew ink blending tool.  Written and photos Quick...
