How to blend colors on your die-cut shapes

#busycrafter #cardmaking #handmadecard #stampinup

Can you use a set of dies without the coordinating stamp set? Yes, you can!
In this tutorial I show you how to turn a simple die-cut into a beautiful focal point, and how to add a subtle color gradient with only 2 ink pads and blending brushes.
I used the Autumn Leaves Dies and the So Sincere Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!
