 Hi There Crafty Friends, I do hope your all keeping well, today I decided to see how blending my dye inks would turn out. I always used Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock, as it is great for blending (due to it being so smooth). So I pulled out my blending brushes and inks and this is what I came up with. I was so impressed with the beautiful blend I achieved. I had to share it with you all.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I'm really loving using coloured cardstock panels, particularily the darker the better. But I also love to colour as well, so today I'm sharing my tips on pencil colouring on dark card.
