Fadeout ink blending is a great technique to use with stencils as it can add so much interest and depth to the design. Here I’m showing you fadeout ink blending with a beautiful new stencil from the All Things Fall release from Catherine Pooler Designs, however, you can use this technique with any stencils or ink colours you have in your collection. I paired it with some beautiful heat embossing to style elegantly with the ink blending so have a look in your stash in ways to use the technique.

Using the Make-art Stay-tion, position the Perfection Stencil over a white card panel to keep it in place. Next with an ink blending brush start to apply Buttercream Ink around the edge of the stencil fading this out as you move towards the middle of the stencil.
Next, ink blending Rouge ink in the middle of the stencil and fade this out as you move out from the centre of the stencil. Go back in with Buttercream Ink and blend the fadeout between the two inks for a seamless look.
Stamp a sentiment from the Fall Finds stamp set in S’mores Ink – this is a dark brown and has a warmth that pairs well with these warm tones compared to black ink. Trim the panel down and add it to a white card panel.
Die-cut a layer up the All In One Thank You die and heat emboss this in gold before adding the front of the card. Lastly, finish this off with some pale gold Nuvo drops.
