Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. We all love to colour our stamped images in, whether that's with ink, pens, pencils or paints.

Hello Crafty Friends, I hope your well, and crafting your way through this difficult. I am trying to work, with some colour theory at the moment. My favorite place to find, colour combinations at the moment is through Pinterest or Pattern Papers in my stash.    So after being inspired I came up with a beautiful masculine combination.     I love pulling inks from my collections and seeing how they work together.     Products   MFT You Float My Boat  https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/you-float-my-boat?_pos=1&_sid=0a6232f1a&_ss=r MFT All About Dad Die Namic's https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/die-namics-dad?_pos=1&_sid=92e1e6519&_ss=r   MFT All About Dad Stamps (optional) used for Happy...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I love to ink blend, but I love it more when it's over heat embossing.

What's more, you can easily adapt this to any stamp set you wish, or occasion. And for added variation, why not create an ombre effect with your ink blending.  Written and photos Rich & Luxurious embossing:  To start...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. It can be a hard time for everybody and I wanted to make a card that you could send to someone to show them they're in your thoughts.
