Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker. After shooting a video to share my Softened Blends Technique, I went on to create full cards with the pieces I started in the video. Today, I’m sharing both the video and a Young at Heart with Softened Blends card.
Young at Heart with Softened Blends

The gals in Young at Heart are such fun!
These too remind me of laughing with a good friend, sister, mother…

Color these two ladies with your Stampin’ Blends.
To get the subtle coloring for their skin and cheeks,
use the Softened Blends Technique.
Then, layer the gals up using the Ornate Frames Dies and
Layering Ovals Dies.
Layering Ovals Chart HERE
You’ll love the Softened Blends Technique
for all kinds of coloring and shading.

For the background,
use Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and Pigment Sprinkles.
Then with your Stamparatus, stamp the sentiment from Young at Heart.
Using the Stamparatus allows you to stamp the sentiment a couple of times if necessary.

I’ll be sharing a full tutorial for you to download
