I had no idea, but I found out at a recent class I took at Leadership, that you can use Blendabilites on tile!  Yup that’s right, this tumbled tile, which can be purchased at any home improvement store, was stamped using Blendabilites.

 

So you choose your stamp set.  In this case the stamp set “Kinda Eclectic” was used by coloring directly on the stamp with Blendabilites and immediately spritzed with rubbing alcohol and stamped directly onto the tile.  Because the Blendabilities are an alcohol based ink, it dries really fast, but spritzing the stamp with alcohol after coloring it  reactivates the ink long enough for you to stamp it on the tile.  Also because the ink is alcohol based any “sweaty” glasses that sit on the tile will not smear the ink because it’s not effected by water.  How cool is that?

 



For the final card in this series (check out he others on my previous two posts) we used the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set “Big Day” as well as Blendabilities.  I stamped the image with Versamark on Basic Black card stock and embossed it with Whisper White Embossing Powder.  Using the Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo Blendabilities, I colored over the white embossed image and the Blendabilites ink sticks to it.  Because the image is embossed on very dark card stock, Basic Black in this case, an overage in coloring doesn’t show up.

 

This technique is a fun way to get the “chalkboard” look which is so popular.  I’m loving how bright the image looks when colored with the Blendabilities.

 

So what do you think?  Are you enjoying the different ways to use Blendabilities?  They are an awesome product and come in packages of three shades of a color for just $11.95… and do you want to know what’s even better than that?  You can choose from 12 different packages of Blendabilities as a FREE Sale-a-bration item every time you purchase $50 or more from me.  It is a spectacular way to get incredible product FREE!

 



 

Did you check out yesterdays’ post with the first card in the series of Big Day and Blendabilites?  If not be sure to check it out!

Today, I stamped the images from the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set “Big Day” in Memento Ink on Whisper White card stock and used the Blendailities to shade and highlight the colored images.

 

Notice the word “Cake”, how it’s darker at the bottom and gets lighter in color at the top?  I started with the Darkest of the Crumb Cake Blendabilities and colored just a bit of the bottom of each letter.  Next I used the medium Crumb Cake Blendabilites and colored in some more, blending the medium shade into the dark shade on the image.  Finally by using the lightest shade of Crumb Cake I colored in the rest of the letters again blending the medium shade into the light shade.  I used this same technique on the cake itself.  Since cakes are round, the cake would appear lighter in the front where the light would reflect and darker towards the back.  To achieve this look I started with the darkest Crumb Cake color on the sides of the cake and went lighter as I approached the center, blending the shades as I went.  I then went over the center with the Color Lifter to highlight just a bit more. 

 

Tomorrow I’ll share another technique with Blendabilities.
