Stampin' Up Blendies

I am trying out  the new Stampin' Up Blendabilites .

The first ones I received are  Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.

This is my first attempt with these markers. I have used Copics for about 3 years and like them but wanted to try the new release from Stampin' Up.  I found that I have to use these markers a little differently than the Copics but I like that the 3 colours are packaged together. I found it harder to blend but I think I just need more practice.

Here is my first card....

Image stamped on Whisper White by Stampin' Up and ribbon supplied by Louise Cyr for me to practice on. For the middle of the flower I used Copics due to the limited colours I have in the blendies

I hope you like it, as always comments are appreciated.

I tried to make the background look like a sandbox,well I think so.

Daddy made the sandbox for their birthdays and they played in it all summer and Loved it.

My daughter (their Mom) loved playing in the sand as a kid too ! Great birthday gift Dad.!
