Video: Spot Blending Technique with the Puzzle Fancy Die

I have a ton of people I'm missing right now and the Puzzle Fancy Die will help me express what a missing piece they are to me.

Today, I have a video to show you how I created this puzzle "I Miss You" card using a spot blending technique over White Detail Embossing Powder . I used Blue Hawaii , Blue Raspberry and the newest Reactive Ink -- Purple Galaxy to color in the Hibiscus Flowers Bold Prints image.

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, watch HERE on YouTube.)

This really is a quick and easy technique but the result is just stunning. You could use any of the open image Bold Prints you already have and the Reactive Ink colors you like to make one of your own!
