Today begins the newest class over at Online Card Classes.  Background Check is taught by Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner, Laura Bassen and some guest artists.  I love these classes because you can go in and watch a technique at any time of the day or night, forever, and the videos themselves are very high quality.

Laura Bassen is the Blending Queen for sure.  She really knows how to get smooth blending with no harsh lines.  Her inks blend like “buddar” as she would say.

Here is the first card I created using Laura’s blending technique.

Supplies:  Neenah 80 lb cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Island Blue ink, Hero Arts Lemon Yellow and Tide Pool inks,  Simon Says Stamp Ice Cream Dream Stamp Set, copic markers, Recollections clear embossing powder, American Crafts Summer 6 X 6 pad, Recollections card base, fun foam, Scor tape
