#tgifc357 Product Spotlight/Technique Challenge

 Hi there!!!! Happy Friday!!!

Who's ready for some fun crafty inspiration? YOU obviously - lol :)

This week we want to focus on one of the exciting newer products to the Stampin' Up! lineup - Blending Brushes. These brushes allow you to beautifully blend your inks by applying extremely light shades of ink or creating soft gradient backgrounds with no lines. You can also use them with our Decorative Masks or stencils.


We loved seeing all of the wonderful Sale-A-Bration inspired projects you submitted for last week's challenge. Thank you so much for sharing them all with us! We'd like to congratulate our winner:




Let's see what our skilled Design Team came up with for you this week using their Blending Brushes shall we?
