Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Please join me in welcoming special monthly Guest *CZ herself*, Cathy Zielske in the latest of our EZ with CZ blog series! Be sure to watch the video to learn all the details on this pretty card and enjoy!

Today’s card is easy and fun to make if you have a background stamp with a text design! Grab a handful of colors in rainbow order, and you’re ready to create a pretty, stamped background.

The key is soften each layer with a blending brush, so the colors overlap and blend! You can use both full-sized ink pads, or ink cubes. Check out my tutorial here:

This is a really easy technique to try with any background stamp. You can also just go with a monochromatic scheme, as well, just using a light, medium and dark ink in one color family.

I hope you’ll give this technique a try today and I will see you back here next month.
