Striped Blended Backgrounds Cards

During a recent Blending Technique Online Class we did this Striped Blended Background as one of of showstopper cards. We taught all attendees how to create their own Striped Blended Backgrounds as they crafted along with us. It was so much fun.

So for The Gentlemen Crafters #TGCDT blog hop we decided to recreate it once again, changing it slightly and decorating a treat box at the same time. What do you think? effective isn’t it.

Striped Blended Backgrounds Treat Box

Every card should come with chocolates (we wish) so why not decorate one of the Acetate Card Boxes with your own art work. It makes those “normally normal” gifts even more special.

Video Demonstration

If you would like to see how it was done and have a go yourself then we have made you a video showing you how you can make your own Striped Blended Backgrounds below.

We both hope you like todays Striped Blended Backgrounds projects for The Gentlemen Crafter Design Team Blog Hop. Remember to check out what everyone else has created by clicking on the Design Team names below.

    The striped blended background is a WOW technique. I love it. Furthermore, what an amazing use of Corner Bouquet stamp set. That stamp set challenges me and I’ve strained my brain to come up with something creative with it — now my brain is moving.
