Blendabilities

I am sure by now you have heard about Stampin Up! Blendabilities.  (Stampin Up! version of Copic markers)  I have made some cards using these Blendabilities, but not to color.  In the picture below I used them for a background. I got this idea from Stamp with Jodi You can see where I messed up on the embossing on the lower right of the card.  Some of the stem is missing.  I figure that would be a great place to add a sentiment.  All is good. and....   After I shaded the background with Coastal Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blendabilities; I embossed the stamp in black.  Very vibrant colors!

This is so fun and perfect for the person who says I don't have the money or time to invest in a stamping hobby.  The cost is $19.95 (which includes shipping) a month and you get all the supplies except adhesive.  Everything is cut for you.  You receive with every kit a ink stampin' spot (a small ink pad
